Additional Information
What's All The Buzz?
The Master Gardeners are partnering with local garden centers, Jeffers Bend, and you - to help promote the Homegrown National Park initiative. This grassroots initiative aims to regenerate biodiversity and ecosystem function by planting native plants and creating new ecological networks.
The Christian County Master Gardeners are encouraging the inclusion of native plants into gardens that benefit at-risk native bee pollinators - not all native plants benefit these specialist bees. We will be leading workshops and classes this spring and invite you to come learn more about this national outreach program and how you can help.
