We invite you to join Tennessee Environmental Council (TEC) and the Merrol Hyde community in maintaining a pollinator habitat with native wildflowers that support pollinator species, native bees, butterflies, moths, and many more species. TEC established this garden in February 2024, and we will focus on removing invasive grasses and weeds that are fast returning and competing with the native wildflowers. By participating in this event, you not only contribute to the preservation of our local ecosystem but also get a chance to learn about native plants and pollinators.
TEC will provide all the necessary tools, gloves, and water in a large jug. Please bring your refillable water bottle. Be sure to dress for the garden (closed-toed shoes, long-sleeve shirt, and long pants). Parking is available in the parking lot behind the school, which is conveniently located near the garden. You can easily spot it on the attached map, marked with a red star. The garden location is indicated by a green oval. Important:
While TEC volunteer events occur at the high school, they are organized independently of the school. Please note that TEC volunteers are not permitted to enter the school while on campus for the TEC volunteer events.
Contact our event coordinator Bryn Beauchamp, bryn@tectn.org, if you have any questions.
