INCREASING BIODIVERSITY, DROUGHT RESILIENCE, AND BEAUTY

Testimonials
"As the curator of the Carbondale Historical Society’s Heritage Gardens, I’m working with Bee Friendly Carbondale’s team and the Town of Carbondale toward replacing turf in the Thompson House Museum History Park with pollinator friendly plants. Being part of this process has been both educational and inspirational."
- Sue Gray, CHS Heritage Gardener
