Description

Fort Bend County Libraries invites the public to help launch the library system’s new Community Pollinator Garden. 

Join special guests Fort Bend County Precinct 3 Commissioner Andy Meyers, Library Director Roosevelt Weeks, and Branch Manager Mary Hulse in the Meeting Room at 10:30 am for the opening ceremony, followed by the official planting in the garden at 11:00 am.

Fort Bend County Master Gardener Nancy Schafer will give a talk on pollinator gardens from 11:30 am to 12:00 noon, in the Meeting Room of the library. Learn about the different native plants that have been chosen for the pollinator garden and the importance of pollinators to support the native Texas ecosystem.

The garden will be located adjacent to the library, with a path leading from the front parking lot to the garden. A variety of Native Texas plants have been selected to attract pollinators, such as butterflies, bees, and birds.

The garden will be maintained entirely by volunteers. Applications to become a volunteer for the garden are available in the library. Volunteers must be at least 16 years of age.

Special thanks go out to the Fort Bend County Master Gardeners, the Texas Master Naturalists: Coastal Prairie Chapter, and Gabrielle Butler from the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service - Fort Bend County for their support and assistance with this project.

Refreshments at this event are provided courtesy of the Friends of Sugar Land Branch Library.
