Calling all garden volunteers! Join us to dig in the dirt and help establish a home for pollinators at our kick-off volunteer event.

We’ll start the day with a brief talk about why we’re using native plants and how you can do this at your library or organization. Next, we will pull weeds, dig holes, and put plants in the ground! Attendees will receive a set of gardening gloves, a packet of wildflower seeds native to the Northeast, and good vibes from doing something positive for our local ecosystem.

You must be 18 or older to participate. Space is limited.

Why are we doing this? Our goal is to rehabilitate the landscape at Southeastern with native plants that support pollinators. The Turning the Page for Pollinators project is supported by an Ecological Restoration Grant from Partners for Climate Action.
