What to look for: The idea for a pollinator garden started in 2019, with the garden design provided by Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteer Hope Duckworth. The purpose of the garden is to educate the public regarding pollinator plants and their benefits. Plans for the garden continued through early 2022, and approval from the Cabarrus County Commissioners came in the early summer of 2022. The garden was planted by Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteers in early autumn, 2022.

The site is adjacent to the extension office and is approximately 650 square feet. The garden is a partnership between the Extension Master Gardener℠ volunteers, the Concord Wildlife Alliance and the North Carolina Wildlife Federation. The initial plants were donated by the North Carolina Wildlife Federation - thank you!!
