Have you seen what's blooming in the garden? Make sure to stop by and see (and smell!) all the beautiful flowers! There are also many small friends to see - the second photo was taken in the garden by one of our garden volunteers, Javad, and it shows a native bee (in the genus Lasioglossum - according to ID from iNaturalist) on an Aquilegia canadensis (Wild Columbine). Come join us in the garden for many exciting encounters! Any are welcome to join during these dates to help volunteer for the garden. - May 28, Wednesday 9 to 11 and 3 to 5 (If it rains, it will be cancelled) - May 30, Friday 10 to 12 - May 31, Saturday 2 to 4 The Montgomery Museum Garden is located at 300 Pepper Street, Christiansburg. #localmuseum #localgarden #nativeplants #volunteer #christiansburgva #montgomerycountyva (fb)
