garden plugs | Espoma Organic

Join Summer Rayne Oakes from Flock Finger Lakes as she works to create a diverse garden by blending a variety of native and native-adjacent plant species.

Each plant choice contributes to the garden’s ecological value, from nitrogen-fixing Dalea to pollinator-attracting violets and rare asters. Summer uses an organic fertilizer like Espoma Organic Bio-tone Starter Plus to provide these plants with the nutrients needed for successful establishment. Summer provides valuable insights into building rich soil, designing a visually harmonious layout, and managing weeds naturally to create a beautiful, pollinator-supporting garden.
