As part of the ongoing Pollinator
Project, we installed three pollinator gardens around Janesville this
summer: one at the Community Garden, one at the Fairgrounds, and—most
recently—one at Hedberg Public Library. The idea was that we would
offer and use them as demonstration gardens to help people learn
about pollinators.

Each of the gardens is unique, but they
currently have little more than just plants. Come see and learn about
each of them, but bring your thinking cap as well. Help take stock of
where we are and how to make these gardens better.
Are there
particular plants we could add?
Any features (such as particular
types of bee or bird nesting sites, water features etc.) that would
improve them?
What kind of educational materials or signage would
make each a better resource? And how can we use--and promote other
people’s use--of these gardens? We’ll start at the library and
end at the community garden.
Date: Saturday, October 14
Time: 10:00-11:30 a.m.
Meet at Hedberg Public Library,
downstairs entrance (near coffee shop)
