Thing Spring At Berlin Library Program On Pollinator Gardens

BERLIN, CT — As any gardener will tell you, spreading pollen and growing plants that attract pollen-spreading insects is key to having good growing everywhere.

While Tuesday's snow probably snuffed out some notions of spring, a program at the Berlin-Pectk Memorial Library Thursday on so-called "pollinator gardens" just might snap you back to spring mode.

Called "Succession of Bloom in Your Pollinator Garden," the program will take place Thursday, March 16, from 7 to 8 p.m. at the library, 234 Kensington Road, Berlin.

Led by a gardening expert, the program will help attendees learn about the "Pollinator Pathway" movement and the best pollinator plants for each month.

Nancy DuBrule-Clemente will explain the Pollinator Pathway movement and discuss how towns can join.

"She will walk you through the entire growing season, featuring her favorite pollinator plants for each month," reads an announcement of the program.

Trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, herbs, grasses and “weeds” will be included.

Dubrule-Clemente is founder of Natureworks, started in 1983 with a goal of providing organic gardening services to the community.

The program is presented by Kensington Garden Club in partnership with the Berlin Land Trust, a nonprofit organization working to preserve and protect open space land in Central Connecticut.
