This year, Pollinator Partnership (and organizations around the globe) are celebrating Pollinator week from June 17th to June 23rd, and we want to celebrate with them! 

On June 18th, join us in Burke Garden for an event in celebration of the creatures that help keep our local plant community alive.

WHAT: pollinator crafts, scavenger hunt, pollinator ID information, and a BioBliz

WHO: This event is open to all ages, some activities may be more suited to specific ages, but there is something for the whole family to enjoy

WHERE: Burke Garden, near the first parking lot (pinned on Google Maps, click here)

WHEN: Drop in anytime between 4:00 and 6:00pm on June 18th, 2024

WHY: Because we love pollinators! They make many of our food sources possible, bring beauty through flowers, and play a pivotal role in our ecosystems. We cannot fully describe the impact they have on our world!
