Native Plant Swaps in Denver & Fort Collins

By Idelle, March 22, 2024

Planting more native plants around our urban communities makes a huge difference for pollinators and wildlife, and they thrive and look beautiful, too. If you’re on a budget, make sure not to miss these FREE native plant swaps in Colorado this month of June, which is also Colorado Pollinator Month!
