It was a pleasure to spend time at the Atlanta Botanical Garden at the Member Summer Evening talking about our buckets and pollinators. As I said many times today, there is always an opportunity to reduce mosquitoes; buckets still work at this point in the season. It takes about two weeks to intervene in the populations. And the buckets can be saved and reused and (ideally) reinstalled in February or March of next years, as they are most effective if you can get them into your yard before the season starts.
It is always gratifying to help people understand the effects of mosquito sprays on pollinators. We will keep spreading that word. We were set up with folks/groups representing native plants (Halley from Garden*Hood and Tony from the Georgia Native Plant Society, N GA chapter). We all have shared and collaborative missions, in many ways. Thanks, all, for the work! And for the invitation, Claudia McDavid: Decatur resident, Beecatur Board Member, B Buckets client, and Membership Manager, Atlanta Botanical Garden.
