A new pollinator garden has been completed in the Waynesville Recreation Park. 

Located near the entrance of the rec center parking lot, the garden features an educational kiosk, a blue bird box and a sculpture by local artist Grace Cathey in addition to an array of pollinator-friendly blooms. 

The garden was created by the Waynesville Garden Club after a two-year effort and support from Jonathan Yates, outside facilities manager for the town of Waynesville. It was dedicated following a June 6 ceremony held during National Garden Club Week.
