Things to Do
Pollinator Path
The Basics:
Piedmont Arts is reimagining a portion of its grounds to create the Pollinator Path, an accessible community space for the appreciation of art and nature. The path will feature an ADA-compliant pathway lined by native plants that
promote pollination and support local wildlife and raised flower beds for an Adopt-a-Bed program. Art classes and
school tours will find inspiration amongst the native flora and fauna.
With support from Harvest Foundation, Beegins With You Foundation, Prillaman Landscape Dimensions, the YMCA, Virginia Museum of Natural History, Bee City, Martinsville Garden Club and Garden Study Club, and other community organizations, the Project Hope Pollinator Trail will be a source of community pride for future generations.
Ground was broken on the path in February 2023. The first phase of the project will be completed by June 2023.
Native Pollinator Trail
The Pollinator Path will be ADA compliant, community focused, and surrounded by native pollinators that support local wildlife.
Opportunities to Build Community
With help needed planting native species, maintaining the raised beds and creating artwork, there are a variety of ways for the community to play a role in building this community space.
Arts + Education
In addition to land stewardship, the path will create many opportunities for community events, arts programs, and science education programs.
