THE GARDENERS OF WAKE COUNTY

A CLUB FOR PEOPLE WHO LOVE GARDENING IN THE CAROLINAS

What's Happening in July at the GWC

Picture
At our July meeting, presenter Helen Yoest will speak on the benefits of native plants for pollinators and discuss how seeds, nectar, and pollen from native shrubs and perennials are fodder for butterflies, birds, and bees.  Helen explains that her love of gardening is an extension of her desire to be outdoors. Some of her favorite plants native to the area are cardinal flower, Lobelia cardinalis, a hummingbird favorite, coneflowers, echinacea especially for native bees, butterflies, and gold finches, Yaupon holly, Ilex vomitoria, for our winter resident native birds, and milkweed, Asclepias, which is the only host plant for the Monarch butterfly. In her home garden, Helen has created a wildlife habitat through sustainable garden design.  Join your friends and fellow gardeners of the GWC to find out more at our next meeting, Tuesday July 15th, 7:00 PM at the JC Raulston Arboretum!
