Our pollinator garden is thriving and we see evidence of happy pollinators thriving in it every day! You can read some information about mountain mint at the end of this video… There are three varieties of mountain mint growing in our garden. Not only is it delicious for humans but supports a number a different wildlife species. Thanks again to for funding our garden extension that runs adjacent to the parking lot. It's filling in beautifully this year!

Bio: I recently graduated with a bachelor's degree in Sociology from ETSU. In my last year of college, I started working as a hospital chaplain at JCMC. My current vocation, paired with my former role as a funeral director's assistant, has ignited a passion to open up casual public discussion about death and dying to demystify the one thing we are all guaranteed to face.
