Garden Tour on June 23

​WISCONSIN CELEBRATES POLLINATOR WEEK
 
June is designated National Pollinator Month to bring attention to what we can do to support habitat for pollinators.  There are several programs throughout the month showing how we can help pollinators in our backyards.  
 
The North Country Master Gardener Volunteers invite you to join them on June 23, 2022, between the hours of 4:00 and 7:00 p.m., to tour the Monarch and Pollinator Sanctuary Garden at the Spooner Agricultural Research Station’s Teaching and Display Gardens.  Volunteers will be on-hand to give guided tours, answer gardening questions and showcase the dozens of different pollinator species established in the gardens.

The Teaching & Display Garden is open to the public for self-guided tours during the growing season and is located 1 ½ mile east of Spooner on Orchard Road, off Highway 70. 
 
Wisconsin Celebrates Pollinator Week, June 20-26, 2022, raising awareness through statewide and local activities and events. By increasing knowledge and adopting pollinator friendly practices, we can improve pollinator health and habitats. National Pollinator Month is an annual event managed by the Pollinator Partnership to help spread the word about what we can do to protect pollinators.

​Pollinator Week Webinars hosted by UW-Extension/Horticulture.  Webinars are free, but registration is required for each one. Webinars will be recorded for later viewing.
