Garden Club of Weaverville member Barb Woolmington will share her experience in transitioning her Weaverville home’s outdoor space from a raw construction zone in 2020 to the colorful and pollinator-friendly garden beds she tends now, just four years later.  Included in her slideshow presentation are details on how she and her husband seeded a wildflower meadow along the back slope of the house, incorporated a wetlands pond for wildlife, added hardscape in the form of rock paths and terraces, and planted pollinator natives throughout.
