Those of you that follow our garden progress at Wheeler Historic Farm are bound to have noticed that the USU Extension Demonstration Teaching Garden is looking ‘bloomtastic’ these days! Pollinator Garden in full bloom at Wheeler Farm

Flower gardens not only attract pollinators and beneficial insects, but also provide humankind eye-candy with firecrackers of color and texture. Here is a run-down of flowers we currently have in bloom and please, come visit the garden in person to see for yourself!  You might be blown away with inspiration to start your own ‘bloomtastic’ flower garden!
