The Urban Bee Project was created on Ground Hog Day, February 2nd, 2011 in Seattle Washington. Rolande Chesebro, a garden designer, Laurie Gardner an educator and gardener, and Lauren Montgomery, a beekeeper and gardener joined together to promote a vibrant and healthy habitat for bees and people. Our project is twofold: to promote gardening for bees and other pollinators, and to discourage chemical pesticide use and encourage green alternatives. We will accomplish these goals through community awareness, education and events.
