Pollinator program set at Lewes Community Garden Aug. 17

Lewes Community Garden will host a free program at 9:30 a.m., Saturday, Aug. 17, at 366 Park Road in Great Marsh Park near the Lewes Unleashed Dog Park and the University of Delaware campus.

Guests from Sussex County Master Gardeners will present a program on supporting pollinators. The public is welcome to attend.  

Pollinators help support a healthy ecosystem, many food crops and most flowering plants. Birds and other creatures depend on pollinator larvae for food. Creating pollinator-friendly habitats is very important and is easy to do with native plants. 

Attendees should bring a chair and water, and be prepared to walk a short distance in the grass down a small hill.
