Rolla, Missouri -- Charlotte Ekker Wiggins in Bluebird Gardens, her one-acre limestone hillside apiary, Certified Wildlife Garden and Monarch Way Station.
Meet Charlotte
Charlotte Ekker Wiggins has been a translator, bureaucrat, stepmom - and is still a big sister and entrepreneur. Her professional jobs have been heavy on problem-solving with a dose of travel. That’s when she was not working a Missouri limestone hillside into a garden. Keeping plants from rolling downhill is a practiced skill. So is wielding a pick ax to make flower beds.
The one-acre garden, where her neighbors said nothing would grow, is now a Monarch Way Station, Certified Wildlife Habitat and apiary. She featured how she developed Bluebird Gardens April 2019 in her TEDx “why bugs matter.”
She continues to run a bee club that supports her beekeeping classes and beekeeping reference books. She still plants. And spoils rescue cats. She also keeps native and honey bees, mostly outdoors.
