Subject: Tour of the Chatham Mills Pollinator Garden Wednesday July 10
Wednesday July 10 at 5:30 pm I will give 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, flower flies, 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 60 different plants in bloom this week.
Address: 480 Hillsboro St., Pittsboro, NC 27312
You can view photos of what’s blooming in the garden on Extension’s Growing Small Farms website at http://go.ncsu.edu/pollinator-garden
View a slide show of the garden featuring over 100 photos taken throughout the seasons at http://go.ncsu.edu/pollinator-garden-virtual-tour
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!
