Pollinators are an essential component of North Carolina’s ecosystem, playing a critical role in the production of crops and the maintenance of natural habitats. North Carolina is home to an extensive array of pollinators, including bees, butterflies, beetles, and birds, each of which fulfills a unique niche within the ecosystem. Given the vital role of pollinators, it is crucial to understand their behavior and habitat requirements to ensure their protection and preservation.

The NC State Extension Master Gardener volunteers of Guilford County and NC Cooperative Extension-Guilford County Center invite you to our annual "Celebrate Pollinators Day" event on Saturday, June 22, 2024 from 9:00am to 12:00pm.

This event will be held at the Karen C. Neill Demonstration Garden (3309 Burlington Rd., Greensboro, NC 27405). Vendors, exhbits, and activities for the whole family include: Carolina Butterfly Society, Audubon Society, Native Plant Society, High Point University's Mobile Lab, "Ask a Master Gardener" booth, community garden tours, conversations with pollinator experts, the opportunity to make your own "bee hotel," youth activities, and more!

Plants and honey will also be available for purchase. The "Flash Plant Sale" scheduled for May 18 (the clearance sale following the Annual Passalong Plant Sale) and ultimately postponed to weather has been rescheduled and will be taking place at this event.

This is an outdoor event. Please wear comfortable and weather-appropriate clothing.
