September 24 was a gorgeously mild fall day, perfect for Bluebirds of Central Kentucky‘s first festival. This organization’s mission is to improve habitat for one of Kentucky’s most beautiful native birds, the bluebird.
Our booth was next to Ironweed Nursery and Frankfort’s Fantasy Forest. The event took place at West Sixth Farm, also in Frankfort. Between the beautiful weather, the vendors, and the scenery, none of us could’ve asked for a better day, or time.
KNPS Director, Deborah White and Susan Harkins talked with lots of folks, but, mostly children. It was fun talking with children about native plants and habitat. Several were already knowledgeable on the subject, which was encouraging.
The number one comment heard by KNPS volunteers that day was, “I didn’t know we had a native plant society in Kentucky.” Sounds like a challenge to me!
