Marietta, Georgia is hosting a community-focused event at the Gone With the Wind Museum on May 31, promising both an educational and enjoyable experience for visitors. The museum's initiative, “Pollinators in the Garden”, will unfold at Brumby Hall and Gardens from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., inviting guests to engage with the natural environment by helping to create an “Air Bee and Bee” in the newly established wildflower garden, as per the City of Marietta.
Those attending can expect to gain knowledge on a wide range of pollinators and receive guidance on how to start their own pollinator gardens at home. Furthermore, participants will have the opportunity to take home a repotted plant. This hands-on project has been made possible, thanks to the backing of the U.S Fish and Wildlife Office, according to an announcement on the City of Marietta's official website. In line with the educational goal of the event, the museum will also showcase the Tara exhibit, inspired by the iconic Southern setting from Margaret Mitchell’s celebrated novel.
Alongside the environmental activities, the event promises a host of leisurely pursuits including yard games, music, and snacks to enhance the experience for those who attend. The cost of admission remains as per the museum's standard rates — $10 for adults and discounted prices of $7 for students, seniors, and military members. The museum continues its mission to preserve and share the legacy of "Gone With the Wind," emphasizing its role in literature, film, and broader American history, as detailed by the City of Marietta's release.
Guests planning to attend are advised that some activities may be contingent on weather conditions, and all are subject to change without prior notification.
