Pollinator Gardening Day
Saturday, September 12, 2026
10:00AM – 11:30AM
Join volunteers in our verdant and lush pollinator garden dappled with summer blossoms. Help us care for the space to keep it inviting and welcoming to visitors.  We’ll do some focused weeding, water the garden, clear the paths and tidy garden beds.  We’ll end our morning enjoying the fruits of our labor with a refreshing beverage as we look for pollinators.  REGISTER
