UCMGVA Teaching Garden: A Certified Wildlife Habitat

Our garden is a Certified Wildlife Habitat and we take it very seriously. We have both host and nectar plants for insects, as well as, several preferred by our feathered friends. Currently (summer 2013), the butterfly population is amazing! Their larvae have chewed their way through parsley, dill, fennel, Dutchman's Pipe, milkweed and we are always very careful to check for chrysalis when deadheading, digging, etc.
We have never advertised our Teaching Garden as a 'pollinator garden'. It is a happy circumstance that it is!
It is also a home for natives, plants that grow well in our region, various amphibians, lizards, snakes and furry four legged types.
OUR GARDEN IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC ... Come visit us!
We are located behind the Union County Extension Agricultural Center, 3230 Presson Rd., Monroe, NC
