Location
Walking Tour of Pollinator Spots along the Pollinator Path in downtown Dawsonville. We have a number of small Pollinator Spots at various businesses and buildings in downtown Dawsonville that will be fabulous displays of what you can do on a large or small scale for our pollinating insects and hummingbirds. Join us as we inspire our community to use native pollinator plants. Remember, without our pollinating honey bees, native bees, butterflies and more, we would enjoy 42% fewer fruits and vegetables. The Pollinator Tour begins at the garden at Main Street Park located behind the Food Lion on Hwy 53 W. After enjoying the native plants in bloom and their pollinators, you can easily walk to various Pollinator Spots in the downtown area. The Spots include Dawsonville City Hall, Dawson County News, The Fancy Flea, The Bowen Center, Dawson County Library, Days Gone By, and Robinson Elementary School. Beyond the Pollinator Spots, you are invited to drive to gardens at Rock Creek Park, Abbott Creek Nursery, the Chamber of Commerce and the fabulous gardens of Georgann Schmalz (152 Willow Oak Lane) and Edie Chodora (127 Harbour Ridge Dr). They will have some free plants to get you started.
Fees/Admission
Cost? Nothing. Free. Nada. Just promise to start a small garden with pollinator plants that can save our bees.
