Collapse ▲Photos by Debbie Roos, N.C. Cooperative Extension of Chatham County
In late 2008, I planted a demonstration pollinator garden at Chatham Mills to provide forage from early spring to late fall for pollinators such as honey bees, native bees, butterflies, flower flies, hummingbirds, beetles, and other beneficial insects. The garden features over 215 unique species of perennials, 85% of which are native to North Carolina. The garden is a great teaching tool that I use to conduct workshops and tours for hundreds of folks each year. It has taught me so much and I enjoy sharing this knowledge with others.
Below you can see photos of plants that were in bloom from mid-June through early September. The pollinator garden averaged 65 species in bloom in any given week throughout the summer!
