If you’ve been to Kemp Family Park lately, you may have noticed these bags of soil by the red barn. These have been provided by the Georgia Association of Conservation Districts (GACD) as part of their "Pollinator Initiative" to promote awareness of the importance of pollinators (bees, birds, butterflies, etc.) in our overall ecosystem. They have been providing pollinator gardens and habitats throughout the state of Georgia. The Soil3 company donated the organic humus compost soil, which reduces the need for chemicals and also retains water better.
The Cobb PARKS Dept. and GACD set them up and seeded them according to instructions, so it will be exciting to see what plants sprout in the spring! Three of the bags are a wildflower mix, and one bag has Little Blue Stem Grass seeds.
