Plants and Pollinators Festival
May 9, 2020
9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
in the NaturePlex at the Alabama Nature Center
3050 Lanark Road | Millbrook, Alabama
This event has expanded opportunities for people to learn about, and enjoy the wonderful mix of native and ornamental flora, as well as the importance of pollinators. We are thrilled to announce, as part of this expansion....
We will draw attention to the growing importance of Pollinator Conservation, both in Alabama and worldwide. We will do that by visiting the Apiary, as well as live demonstrations of honey extraction from our resident bee hives. And yes, custom collected and bottled “Lanark Honey” will be available for purchase that day.
Festival Day will also include plant/gardening presentations, speciality vendors and the annual Lanark Plant Sale; proceeds benefitting the Lanark Gardens.
