Earth Day Family Fair + Pollinator Garden Planting @ Buncombe County Sports Park

Buncombe County Parks & Recreation is offering a wonderful way to celebrate Earth Day. They will be launching the first phase of creating a vibrant pollinator garden in partnership with U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, where community members, students, schools, clubs, organizations, and businesses can volunteer. There will also be an Earth Day Fair that will feature educational family-friendly workshops, eco-crafts (bird feeders, birdhouses, and more), and activities.

Pollinator gardens play a crucial role in supporting local ecosystems by providing habitats and food sources for essential pollinators like bees and butterflies. Creating this garden under the expert guidance of a biologist from U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service will help enhance local biodiversity and promote sustainable land management practices.

Additional landscaping opportunities will be available at Lake Julian Park (37 Lake Julian Road).
