Hi Paov,

Have you seen the bees yet? As they emerge, let’s welcome them to spring with some native plants and garden habitats!

On Saturday, April 23, join us at Stevenson Park for a full-day event celebrating native pollinators, plants and their relationships! Learn about native bees, their connection to native plants and things you can do to benefit the pollinators we so desperately rely on.

There will be an ongoing native plant sale by Satinflower Nurseries and two workshops throughout the day.
