BLACKSBURG –A new kiosk information center will be dedicated at the Hale Community Pollinator Garden, 215 Maywood St., Blacksburg, Thursday, Aug. 28, 5 p.m.
Community members are invited to the dedication of the new information center, a collaborative effort of Master Gardeners of the New River Valley, Live Work Eat Grow and the Christiansburg Home Depot.
According to Live Work Eat Grow, the kiosk will “serve as an educational hub for visitors, offering information about pollinator-friendly plants, gardening practices, and the critical role pollinators play in sustaining biodiversity. The project comes at a pivotal moment—pollinating insects such as bees, butterflies, and moths face unprecedented threats from pesticide use, habitat loss, and climate change. Local pollinator gardens offer essential refuge and food sources, helping to reverse these declines while fostering a healthier ecosystem.”
“Just as bees spread life from flower to flower, our partnerships spread energy, knowledge, and hope throughout the community,” said a representative from Live Work Eat Grow.
The dedication ceremony will include brief remarks from partner organizations, recognition of volunteers and an opportunity for attendees to explore the garden and the new kiosk. All are welcome to attend this free event.
