Information About the Presenter: Donna Miller
Donna has been passionate about plants and gardening since childhood. She currently grows and sells cut flowers with
her husband Jim at their Canterbury farm, Petals in the Pines. In 2010 she became a Master Gardener and her interests
expanded to encouraging pollinators and native plants. In 2021 she became an Advanced Master Gardener, specializing
in pollinators.
 
At Petals in the Pines, they have established two meadows, initially by parking the lawnmower in the shed! Additional
native species are planted each year to create a desirable home for pollinators. The farm is certified as a Monarch Way
Station with Monarch Watch, and a Xerces Society certified pollinator habitat--and now they are “On the Map” with
Homegrown National Park. All of these programs support efforts to protect pollinators and native plants.

This program is made possible by the UNH Master Gardeners Speakers Bureau and the Friends of the Moultonborough Library
