Camellia Table at Syrup Sopping

Celebrate the connection between gardens and wildlife at the Wildlife Arts Festival, October 24th. This is a short-notice event that I&rsquo;d like three volunteers for each shift (8:30-12:00 and 12:00-3:30) to assist. We will be providing information on the Helpline, Pollinator Gardens, and performing two hands-on. Sessions working with the public.&nbsp;&nbsp;For the demonstration and hands-on portion we will show the public how to plan out a pollinator raised bed, read plant tags, determine sunlight conditions, hole preparation, and after-care. The hands-on portion will include letting the public plant a few items near the edges of the planting box, and daffodils/poppy seed around the base (I am still working with the Kelly to finalize details).&nbsp; I will be at the event all day and will assist with planting and talks. Helpers can assume as much labor as they are able to do, but I can handle pretty much all of that piece. Contact me for more information at 256-419-3332 or <a fr-original-style="" href="mailto:Rebecca.ridley74@gmail.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; -webkit-user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Rebecca.ridley74@gmail.com</a>. Thank you!Rebecca Ridley,Projects Chair
