In July of 2017 North Carolina State Beekeepers Association (NCSBA) will celebrate its centennial anniversary. As Orange County's contribution to the event, we plan to have a display of 100 bee plants at the celebratory conference to be held in Winston-Salem. We are looking for volunteers to help get this project going. If you are interested in helping out in any way, please email me with what you are willing to contribute. Celeste Mayer has graciously donated the 4 inch pots we will use. When you volunteer, we will deliver the pots to you.

Below is a synopsis of what we would need from volunteers. The plant list is attached.
  • try to choose a minimum of 10 plants. (much less and we’ll be working hard to collect them all)

  • choose plants you can cultivate from what you have easy access to at no cost (of course you can donate plants you have purchased if you would like)

  • use soilless growing medium (in addition to the donation of your TLC growing the plants, the soilless growing medium will be your donation)

  • grow 2 of each and donate the best or the survivor to the conference

  • use provided OCBA custom labels and label following “Common Name”, “Latin Name”, “Bloom months” as listed on the master plant list

  • start perennials, biennials, shrubs, trees and maybe herbs in 2016

  • start annuals, herbs, vegetables in early 2017 attempting to have first blooms by July 2017

  • donate plant trays for transporting plants to the conference - any OCBA member can do this without committing to grow plants

  • volunteer to help transport the plants to the conference
