Plant Pop-Up: Val Bourne on Plants for Early Pollinators

Celebrated gardener and writer Val Bourne will explore plants that support early pollinators – a vital yet often overlooked moment in the gardening year. Drawing on her deep horticultural knowledge, Val will discuss which plants provide nectar and pollen when insects need it most, and how thoughtful plant choices can make a real difference to biodiversity in gardens of all sizes.

Alongside the talk, Hardy’s Cottage Garden Plants  will host a specialist plant stall, offering a carefully selected range of plants suited to early pollinators, with expert advice on planting and care.

This is a practical and inspiring daytime talk for gardeners, plant lovers, and anyone interested in creating more wildlife-friendly gardens.
