The Richland Library of Ballentine recently held a program on pollinators during National Pollinator week that included a presentation on South Carolina’s native pollinators by Savannah Jordan, SCWF’s Habitat Education Manager and a tour of the library’s pollinator gardens.
Native Pollinator Gardens Installed at Richland Library Ballentine
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.
