Research in the Garden
Fayetteville Technical Community College
Through the partnership with FTCC, students use the Garden as their living laboratory, where they are able to master skills such as landscape and construction techniques, irrigation design and installation, and plant identification. Former students have achieved professional success in positions at Smithsonian Institution Gardens, Ft. Bragg, Fayetteville State University and other entrepreneurial enterprises.

Bumble Bee Nest Survey
Athena Anderson is a doctoral student at the University of Georgia studying bumble bees. She has designed a simple survey that anyone can fill out should they find a bumble bee nest. There is currently no database for bumble bee nest site preferences in North America, and this information would be valuable for conservation efforts. For more information on her research and to complete her survey click here.
