• Aug 11 Pollinator Paradise: If You Build It, They Will Hum Think your backyard is just a patch of grass? Think again! Behind every blooming flower is a bustling world of "unstung heroes" - our native bees, butterflies, and beetles. While honeybees get all the headlines, our local native pollinators are the true engines of our ecosystem and they’re looking for a place to call home. Join us for this free program and learn about the role of native plants, native bees, and other pollinators. Leave this program with a better understanding of how to create a wildlife habitat for all pollinators. The educator for this program will be Fayette County Master Gardener Extension Volunteer (MGEV) Charlane Hemphill. There will also be an optional tour of the Fayette County Extension Education Garden after the program. Please dress accordingly.
