We are proposing to establish a pollinator garden on the east side the Corrales Community Garden. Currently, there is a Mother's Garden in the northeast area of the library and a Children's garden in the southeast corner. The proposed pollinator garden would be in between these gardens and serve as a connector. We propose that this space will be a demonstration garden for all users of the library and serve to teach people about the wide variety of pollinator plants that may be planted to provide food and shelter for pollinators year round. This space will be developed and maintained by the master gardeners with the coopration of Corrales Parks and Recreations (whose director has volunteered to put in the drip irrigation needed for the space).
Sandoval County Master Gardeners educate and serve our communities in sustainable high desert gardening.
The Sandoval Master Gardeners (SCMG) are trained by New Mexico State University horticultural specialists and instructors under the guidance of Sandoval County Cooperative Extension Service. SCMG is a volunteer organization committed to providing better gardening techniques to the community with the latest, most practical horticultural information available.
The Sandoval County Master Gardener Program began in 1995. There are 11 counties in New Mexico and the Navajo Nation Extension Service with active Master Gardener programs.
