Fling Into Spring: Nature's Wonders Symposium
Saturday, March 21st 9AM-3PM at the Thomasville Garden Center
Did you know that pollinators are responsible for about 1 in every 3 bites of food we eat? Butterflies, like other pollinators, (bees, birds, and bats) play a major role in producing fruits, nuts, and vegetables by moving pollen between plants. How can we help these small but mighty creatures who put food on our table to continue surviving and thriving in our community? Well... come participate on March 21, 2026 in Thomasville Garden Clubs’ Fling Into Spring with Nature’s Wonders, a symposium about local butterflies and ways to keep them healthy by installing native plants in your garden. So grab your kids, neighbors, and friends to join us for a full day of fun and activities.
