Hello, all,

 

The pollinator habitat table at Harmar Days seems to have been a success. 

*	We gave out all 150 seed packets (and could have given more--at
least two people asked after we ran out) and an equal number of handouts.
One Columbus-area resident is distributing our information sheet and seed
packet to several neighbors for a possible Homegrown National Park
neighborhood there.
*	We added fifteen names to the list of possible volunteers for the
fall planting push. Two of these names are people associated with Veritas
Academy (a student and the wife of a philosophy instructor), something I did
not expect. 
*	Two women from Tyler County left their names and are interested in
the possibility of municipal pollinator plantings in Friendly.
*	There were four "official" guided walks, and several visitors to the
table mentioned walking the site and reading the signs on their own.
*	A manager at the Marathon Petroleum truck site on Route 7 has asked
for a consultation on an area the company intends to designate as a
pollinator sanctuary. He also mentioned the possibility of grant money but
will need to look into whether a church is the kind of nonprofit that can
apply.

A big "thank-you" to our volunteers Dave and Shari Ballantyne, George
Banziger, Andrew Clovis, and Claire Mullen.

 

Rebecca
