Winterthur and Delaware’s Pollinator Protection Plan
Wednesday, April 19, 2017 – 11:30 am – Brown Horticulture Learning Center
Pollinators are a key component of U.S. agriculture, but sadly they are facing multiple stresses including parasites, pesticide exposure, and habitat loss. Thalia Pappas, of the Delaware Department of Agriculture, will describe Delaware’s “Managed Pollinator Protection Plan,” part of a wider federal effort to protect the health and habitat of honeybees and native pollinators. Learn how Winterthur’s meadows are playing an important role in protecting pollinators.

The azaleas are very early this year. Azalea Woods is showing color right now and with the predicted temperatures in the 80’s it should be in full flower this weekend!
