Pollinator Garden (Beekeeping Club)

Project Description

Our project is to clear out an existing plot of land attached to the Shelford Vivarium, next to a heavily trafficked area of campus next to the Engineering Quad. We intend to make this a pollinator garden, filled with native fall, spring, and summer blooming plants that local pollinators will interact with. We intend to host several volunteer and educational events throughout the semester to promote sustainable gardening, education on what pollinators are and their ecological importance, and provide a pretty garden for students to enjoy.

Our goal is to fill this garden with native plants that will support local pollinators. The area of campus that we're transforming has relatively low amounts of flora, given that it's surrounded by university instructional buildings and suburbs.
