Subject: pollinator garden tour Wednesday July 11!
Wednesday July 11 at 5:30 pm I will be giving a tour of Chatham County Cooperative Extension’s Pollinator Paradise Demonstration Garden at Chatham Mills in Pittsboro. The garden was designed to provide forage habitat for pollinators such as honey bees, native bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, beetles, and other beneficial insects.
No registration is required…just meet on the sidewalk in front of Chatham Marketplace at 5:30 pm, rain or shine! The garden is looking great and has over 40 different species in bloom this week.
You can view photos of all the plants in bloom plus snapshots of the garden – updated every week or so! – on Extension’s Growing Small Farms website at http://bit.ly/iPHKiW
I also posted the garden tour schedule on the website in case you can’t make this month’s tour – I will be doing them monthly through November.
I hope to see you there!
