Create a Pollinator-Friendly Garden

Chemung County Master Gardener Melanie Beach will provide information for growing a beautiful garden that also supports the local wildlife that pollinate plants and support our local ecosystem. She will talk about the importance of pollinators and choosing the plants these important creatures need to do their work.

Our doors will open at 8:30 a.m. and a light breakfast and beverages will be provided. Our speaker will begin promptly at 9 a.m. and end at 10 a.m. so you can head out to enjoy your weekend.

This program is sponsored by The Friends of the Chemung River Watershed and funded through grants from the Anderson Foundation, the Hilliard Foundation, The Community Foundation, and Casella. A suggested, but not at all required, donation is $10.
