Thanks to grant funding received from the Richland County Conservation Commission (RCCC), SCWF staff worked with Richland Library Ballentine staff and community volunteers to create native wildflower pollinator gardens in the “grass island” of their parking lot. The gardens are already attracting pollinators as well as frogs, toads, and lizards, that have been seen foraging around the flowers and finding shelter in the vegetation and mulch.
Carolina Fence Garden at Andrew Jackson State Park
On March 25, 2017, SCWF was invited to celebrate the 250th Anniversary of
the birthday of President Andrew Jackson at the Lancaster County South
Carolina state park honoring the seventh President of the United States of
America. Fittingly, the Leaf & Petal Garden Club Garden Club and York County Master
Gardeners created a Carolina Fence Garden on the grounds of an 18th-century
replica schoolhouse.
