The Conservation Committee of Chickamauga Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution will co-host a pollinator garden educational event with The Barn Nursery in their classroom facility (the building near the pottery sales) on Saturday, April 8. There will be two sessions, 11 a.m.-12 p.m. and 3-4 p.m.
