SUMMARY:NC State Fair — Visit Us at Our Gardens
DESCRIPTION:The Margaret Reid (Triangle) Chapter has been busy getting ready for the State Fair.\nOur permanent garden of 17 years is accentuated by our newer garden space and a covered booth. Our larger footprint at the fair offers us more opportunities to share the importance and value of native plants: the covered booth has posters, resources, plants to give away and volunteers to answer questions and speak with many more fair visitors; and the patio stones in the new garden provide a place for our visitors to stop and take in the varieties of plants added over the last three years, mostly through the generous donations of several native plant nurseries in North Carolina.\nVolunteer Opportunities\nBe part of this exciting outreach opportunity to educate thousands of fairgoers over 11 days. Getting the word out on the value of native plants is the most important job we have as members of the NC Native Plant Society so sign up today! Most slots are already taken by members of the Margaret Reid (Triangle) Chapter.  But we do have additional spaces left to cover.  With so much going on in our gardens this year you won’t want to miss it! Visitors come from across NC, and we would love to see volunteers from all over the state as well. Volunteers receive free admission.\nSign up here: Register ( https://volunteersignup.org/QR8H3 )\nPartnerships\nThe message that native plants are important to our ecosystems and the wildlife they support is shared by other organizations. We have invited NC native plant nurseries to donate plants for our garden installation and giveaways.  These include:\n\nQueen City Native Nursery\nMellow Marsh Farm\nCarolina Habitats\nPiedmont Plants Nursery\nRay’s Native Plants\nLaurel’s Garden Design\nUwharrie Mountain Native Plant Farm\nFlowering Earth Natives\n\n
