Garden activity: Get your hands in the dirt as you help us plant a brand new Pollinator Garden designed to attract honeybees, native bees, and butterflies. You will also have an opportunity to visit the Hummingbird Garden we planted last summer. No gardening experience necessary, all tools will be provided.
Kids' activities will also be available. Gardeners will be on hand to answer your questions about sustainable gardening techniques that will attract wildlife to your home garden.
