Gardening for Pollinators
Sat 5/6 10am – 11:30am
For Garden’s Sake Nursery, 9197 NC Hwy 751, Durham, NC

Pollinators are vital to life on Earth and yet go largely unnoticed. The ecological service they provide is necessary for the reproduction of about 85% of the world’s flowering plants, including 2/3 of the world’s crop species. Not to mention the whimsy they bring to your garden! So get to know the pollinators in your environment by joining Darcey Martin and Georganne Sebastian – Durham County Extension Master Gardener Volunteers – to learn what all the buzz is about!

The June Durham Garden Forum meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, June 17 from 6:30 – 8:00 PM at the Doris Duke Center, Sarah P. Duke Gardens.  There is no charge for parking.

Rhonda Sherman, NC State Dept. of Biological and Agricultural Engineering, will talk to us about Vermicomposting.  Rhonda spoke to the Forum about backyard composting a couple years ago and touched on vermicomposting.  Many of you asked that we bring Rhonda back to speak specifically about vermicomposting.  She is back by popular demand.  Don’t miss this session.
