We shifted the customary date to accommodate early voting. Welcome back Pat Sommers. We all enjoyed her program last year and I am sure she will

impress again this spring. Pat is opening her own native nursery this Spring, and it will keep the name “Natural Selections Nursery.” She will now be located near Reems Creek Road, right in Weaverville. She will be talking about her mission with this new and larger nursery, where she will finally be able to grow natives directly in the ground and start many more varieties from seed.
Do you know the best ways to support a range pollinators in our area and why?
Keep checking this site for more information! Dr. Alicia Hulse would have discussed the Conservation Board’s project to increase public awareness of the need to provide habitat for our native pollinators. Information will be available about the groups of native pollinators that need our help and identify the kinds of native plants that are most needed to support them.
Alicia has provided an overview of the project plans, including participation by the Garden Club (see below). For more information from the Town of Weaverville on this project, anyone may sign up for the new e-newsletter: http://www.weavervillenc.org/ in Quick Links on the right.
