Subject: new website for pollinator garden
For those of you interested in pollinator conservation (and that should be anyone who likes to eat!), take a look at Cooperative Extension’s new website for the Chatham Mills “Pollinator Paradise” Demonstration Garden at http://www.ces.ncsu.edu/chatham/ag/SustAg/chathammills.html
I added some new sections, most notably a “What’s in Bloom” list with photos of – you guessed it – all the plants currently blooming in the garden in Pittsboro. The website will continue to expand with lots more photos of all the plants plus other information. The garden is looking great and we are looking forward to having a good year with continued educational programming. The website includes a list of all the plants on site plus the nurseries where we purchased them.
We will be conducting monthly garden tours on the third Wednesday of the month at 5:30 pm, starting May 19. No need to register…just show up!
Also, mark your calendars now for our 4th Annual National Pollinator Week Celebration to be held Saturday June 26! You can see photos of past celebrations on the website. We hope to see you there!
Whether you live near Pittsboro or find yourself passing through, come visit our pollinator paradise!
