Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

By Adam Formella, Currituck Extension

Habitat loss is the number one factor leading to decreased pollinator populations. As we build more homes, schools and businesses here in Currituck, we have a duty to protect our pollinators. One way to do this is by establishing wildflower beds. Wildflower beds can be small, but offer habitat to pollinators.

Join us at N.C. Cooperative Extension, Currituck County Center, located at 120 Community Way in Barco, on June 10 from 10 a.m. to noon for our Establishing a Wildflower Bed class. We’ll cover everything you need to know about wildflowers, from how to get them started, to how to keep them maintained and prevent them from looking like a weedy mess! The class fee of $10 covers wildflower seeds to start your very own bed.

Reserve your seat today by completing the class registration and payment at establishingawildflowerbed.eventbrite.com. We are accepting cash and check payments in addition to paying via credit card through Eventbrite. Make checks payable to NCSU. Checks and cash payments can be received at the Currituck Extension Office located at 120 Community Way Barco NC 27917, within five days of registration. Class size is limited and full registration, including payment, is required to hold your spot. If you have any problems registering, please feel free to call us at 252-232-2261 and we will walk you through the process.
