Your community garden is now a Certified Wildlife Habitat! One of our gardeners gifted the "B-Patch" (and the city) with a donation of a NWF WILDLIFE Habitat Certification. And that does not mean Nancy at our potlucks! What does IT mean? Well, nothing in the way of any changes, just that the community garden will provide habitat, food and water for the urban wildlife that already lives there. Just check out the Bird house, we have a family of birds living there!Robj98168http://www.blogger.com/profile/12449968557883132353noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4659795320193726937.post-574464404194369312013-05-04T20:16:00.003-07:002013-05-05T17:58:10.105-07:00GARDEN PARTY PART DEAUX<div style="text-align: center;">

You may notice a small black box hanging at the arbor at the B-patch. These are our guest mason bees from<a href="http://rentmasonbees.com/" target="_blank"> Rent Mason Bees.</a> A few words from Missy AKA The Queen Bee:<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

believing people will come learn about these bees. We are Team GAP
(Gardeners Adding Pollinators) and you are all now members. </span></div>

and are on the playing field. You know the rules of the game and
you can make a difference in your own yard and by spreading the word
about these marvelous native pollinators"</span></div>

Hopefully, we can have Missy come and give her Bee Buzz (Talk) to our gardeners soon. Very interesting lady.<br />

<span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">are low maintenance and require only a small bee house with a VERY low start up cost!</span><br />
<span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;">and remember mason bees do not sting! So don't be scared of them</span><br />
<br />
<span class="size10 Helvetica10" style="color: black; font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In fact the mason bees look more like flies than bees.</span></span><br />
