Pollinator Day

 As part of National Pollinator Week, join them in a celebration of pollination with a visit to their Garden, and see real pollinators helping their plants to grow. With the help of local scientists and organizations, learn about the important role these animals play in the survival of plants and people alike. Pollinator Day is sponsored in-part by the Burt’s Bees Greater Good Foundation.
