Violets and Bees, if You Please!

Posted on by

Violets! I know. You didn’t buy them. They didn’t cost you anything to get them; in fact, you may have spent money to try to get rid of them. We are a consumer society; we value what we pay for. I’m surprised that anyone values beautiful sunsets or a moon-lit night anymore, or do they? I saw my first violet today, it struggled up between the sidewalk and a rock that borders the garden in front of our home. Why is it so amazing? Because it provides both pollen and nectar to the early emerging bees. Oh, and I just saw my first opened ground-dwelling bee nest. Spring is here as far as many trees are concerned! Today I heard my first pollen count on the morning weather report! We are already in the medium to high range! Yes, it still gets cold at night so I will not be…

Our mission is to serve as stewards of the environment; operate in cooperation with UGA, the College of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences and the Gwinnett County Extension Service; and voluntarily educate the public of Gwinnett County, Georgia about horticultural practices that will foster both a healthy environment and beautiful gardens.
