Chatham County Agriculture Agent Debbie Roos gives Pollinator Garden Tours of Chatham County Cooperative Extension’s Pollinator Paradise Demonstration Garden at Chatham Mills in Pittsboro. The garden features over 225 species of perennials, trees, shrubs, vines, and grasses, with 85% of these being native to North Carolina. This is an excellent opportunity to visit the popular gathering spots for honeybees, native bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and beneficial insects, as well as their human admirers.

The garden is located in front of Chatham Marketplace at 480 Hillsboro Street, Pittsboro, NC 27312. Visit the pollinator garden website at www.go.ncsu.edu/pollinator-garden.
