In honor of National Pollinator Week, we’re highlighting Matthews pollinators in the news!
News About Town: Did you know the Town deliberately plans for healthy pollinator populations? In 2019, the Tree and Appearance Board revises the list of approved plantings for the Unified Development Ordinance (154.607.14). This list was revised to remove invasive species and consists predominantly of native species and provides additional options for developers when preparing landscape plans for development in Matthews.
News Around Town: If you haven’t been to Country Place Park lately, you should go. Not only is the pollinator garden in full bloom, but there’s new art to be seen. Gardener Martha Krauss’ talented neighbors and her niece kindly donated hand-painted rocks that double as plant markers. Learn about the plants and celebrate public art in one of Matthews’ most bee-utiful public parks.
