The
Blossoms Garden Club visited the North
Carolina Botanical Garden in Chapel Hill on Tuesday, April 10, 2012.
Under
the leadership of NCBG Assistant Director for Natural Areas and Conservation
Programs, Johnny Randall,
the
Blossoms learned about plant pollinators which include not just bees, but
moths, dragonflies,
butterflies,
beetles, ants, wasps and flies. In the bog garden, Johnny Randall demonstrated how a bee or fly
enters a pitcher plant.
To
learn more about plant pollinators,
