Pollinator gardens
Our club continues to look for ways to support pollinators.
In 2021, we collaborated with the North Manchester Public Library, Wabash County Purdue Extension and others to establish a pollinator garden at the library.
In 2022, we hope to refresh the garden bed at the Rotary Gazebo between the library and Thomas Marshall House.
