Three years ago, Lost City Museum partnered with the University of Nevada Reno Cooperative Extension Office, and Southern Nevada Master Gardeners to create a garden for local pollinators such as bees, wasps, and flies. This garden provides space for flower-producing plants that are native to Nevada. With two blooming seasons, the garden is the perfect spot for fall and spring flowers.
