Garland County Conservation District What is a conservation district?

It is the mission of the Garland County Conservation District to plan and carry out programs to protect, maintain and enhance the soil, water and other related natural resources for now and the future. GARLAND COUNTY CONSERVATION DISTRICT
Conservation districts are local units of government established under state law to carry out natural resource management programs at the local level. Districts

work with millions of cooperating landowners and operators to help them manage and protect land and water resources on private and public lands in the United States. Partnering with the NRCS, the GCCD works to:
Implement farm, ranch and forestland conservation practices to protect soil productivity, water quality and quantity, air quality and wildlife habitat;
Conserve and restore wetlands, which purify water and provide habitat for birds, fish and other animals;
Protect groundwater resources;
Assist communities and homeowners in planting trees and other land cover to hold soil in place, clean the air, provide cover for wildlife, and beautify neighborhoods;
Help developers control soil erosion and protect water and air quality during construction; and
Reach out to communities and schools to teach the value of natural resources and encourage conservation efforts.

Your garden is probably blooming right now. By August it'll be mostly green. By September, quiet. That's exactly when the monarchs heading south and the bumblebee queens building winter fat need flowers most.

The gap between July and October is where most pollinator gardens fail. Not because the gardener stopped caring — because nobody told them what blooms in August.

🌿 This chart runs March through November. Every month has native species in bloom. Bloodroot and spring beauty open for the first bumblebee queens out of hibernation. Columbine and wild phlox carry May when the hummingbird moths arrive. Bee balm and butterfly w**d cover June and July.

Then the gap-fillers — the ones most gardens are missing. Joe-pye w**d, ironw**d, and swamp milkw**d keep August alive. Goldenrod and asters carry September and October when migration is running and queens are fueling for winter. Witch hazel blooms into November, feeding the last pollinators of the year.

Nine months of bloom from native perennials. Most of them establish once and return every spring without replanting.

The garden that feeds pollinators year-round isn't bigger. It just blooms later 🐾
