BLACK MOUNTAIN, North Carolina (WLOS) — Folks headed to Black Mountain Saturday, June 18 to witness countless numbers of pollinators browsing a mountain backyard garden for the duration of the Asheville GreenWorks Pollination Celebration.
The half-acre of wildflowers was planted in 2020 at the Monarch Waystations in the back 9 holes of the Black Mountain Disk Golfing Study course at Veterans Park.
Emily Sampson, the garden’s coordinator, shared her expertise on the method of meadow generation, native plant species and the pollinators that now connect with the back garden dwelling.
“On a regular sunny summer months morning, it’s loaded with bees, bumble bees and honeybees, minimal wasps, probably dozens of unique species,” Sampson claimed. “10,000 bees I’ve probably observed on a warm early morning.”
She stated replacing part of your lawn with indigenous plants and removing invasive species will reward indigenous pollinator populations, like bees, wasps and butterflies.
Saturday’s celebration was one of lots of happening throughout this year, which is Asheville’s 10th anniversary as a Bee City Usa affiliate.
