About the Organization

Watts Street Baptist Church, a progressive congregation located in a leafy residential section of the city (2 blocks from Duke University East Campus), requests plants to be used in its pollinator garden. There is an elementary school across the street, and a synagogue with a pre-school in the next block. The sidewalk in front of the church is a busy pedestrian throughway for the neighborhood, connecting the schools and the University. The pollinator garden was planted in 2023 on a small parcel that is right up against the sidewalk and has a blacktop parking lot behind it. Even in its first season, the garden attracted butterflies in a very visible spot. There is a small sign indicating that it is a pollinator garden.
