The Thurday, March 9, meeting was not only educational but fun as well. Of course, we always have fun at Garden Club!
Kris ran a fast and efficient meeting so we would have plenty of time to learn about gardening for pollinators.
Kim Wheeler, previous of Crex Meadows, now working with Fort Folle Avoine Historical Park, gave a very interesting and informative talk and slide show on ways to cater to pollinators in our gardens including avoiding pesticides whenever possible, allowing some debris to accumulate in the garden for habitat, planting in larger clumps to make it easier for pollinators to find the food they love and planting more native species that tend to have more of the nectar that pollinators need to survive and thrive. We hope Kim will be back in the future to teach us about harvest and preparing wild foods from the forest and prairie.
A big thanks to Georgianne and Rhonda for the great treats!
We started eating before the meeting stated--always a good sign!
And a big thanks to Wanda for always making sure our room is available and open for us.
