The Local History Center of the Rockbridge Regional Library System is presenting “Glorify Glasgow: Let’s Grow and Protect.”
This community service-based project for local children includes two days of activities provided by the Local History Center.
“Glorify Glasgow” will begin on June 4 at 1 p.m. with the planting of shrubs and flowers around the flagpole at Glasgow Town Hall to create a pollinator habitat.
Barbara Thomas, Master Gardener and team leader of Natural Bridge Elementary School Garden, will facilitate the event by highlighting the educational and technical side of planting. The children will take home seeds in a peat pot to further their learning and first-hand experience. The seeds will be obtained from the Master Gardener seed library from the main library branch in Lexington.
At Natural Bridge Elementary School on June 11 at 1 p.m., children will learn that bees are critical to a healthy environment, the key reasons bees are important, and how they can help save them. They will make a bee hotel, a place where native bees can nest, to take home.
“Glorify Glasgow: Let’s Grow and Protect” is made possible through a grant from the Rockbridge Area Master Gardeners Association.
