Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries, the Old Rag Master Naturalists, and the Town of Culpeper will conduct a planting day for a newly designed Pollinator Garden in Yowell Meadow Park. The Pollinator Garden will contain a variety of native trees, shrubs, and perennials to attract and nurture a variety of butterflies, bees, and other pollinators.

The Planting Day will be held on Thursday, October 12th starting at 9 a.m. with a rain date for the following Thursday, October 19th. The Town of Culpeper has already begun construction of the garden pathways in preparation for the planting day. The public is invited to attend and assist with the planting. There will be also opportunities to hear about the benefits of planting native plants in a pollinator habitat garden both in public places and at home.
