We invite you to join Tennessee Environmental Council (TEC) and Tulip Grove Elementary students and teachers in restoring pollinator habitat with native wildflowers supporting pollinator species, native bees, butterflies, moths, and many more species. This pollinator garden will not only provide a habitat for pollinators but also create an excellent educational opportunity for students with hands-on experiences in ecology, taxonomy, environmental studies, and exposure to our beautiful natural world.
You will be engaged in the following activities: removing the sod and remaining roots from the garden, area shoveling and transporting soil with wheelbarrows into the pollinator habitat spreading the soil with makes adding native wildflower seeds to the soil.
TEC will provide all the necessary tools, gloves, and water in a large jug. Please bring your refillable water bottle. Feel free to bring your garden tools (rake, hoe, wheelbarrow, shovel, etc.) and dress for the garden (closed-toe shoes, long sleeve shirt, and long pants).
This garden is made possible by the support of TVA.
Contact our Volunteer and Field Event coordinator, Bryn Beauchamp, at Bryn@tectn.org if you have any questions.
