Join us at Stevenson Park for a full-day event celebrating native pollinators, plants and their relationship!

Come learn about things you can do to benefit the pollinators we so desperately rely on.

Throughout the day there will be an ongoing native plant sale by Satinflower nurseries and two workshops. You will leave with the knowledge (and plants) to create incredible pollinator habitat this summer.
