Our June 20, 2016 program featured Becky Griffin’s presentation of Pollinator Possibilities – the Wonder of Pollinator Gardens. As UGA Extension’s Community and School Garden Coordinator, Becky is passionate about creating community through gardens. She writes a weekly blog at ugaurbanag.com/gardens with timely tips for community and school gardeners. Becky also organizes school garden teacher training each summer and serves on several committees related to urban agriculture. Her current project is the Pollinator Spaces Project ugaurbanag.com/gardens/pollinators where she encourages gardeners to create pollinator habitat. Her topic was timely and extremely interesting to our members. Becky graciously answered many questions and offered ideas for our garden to encourage the many Georgia pollinators to visit our gardens. Related Images:
