Pollinator Garden volunteers help to reverse the decline in pollinator populations while beautifying the park! Native plants and their pollinators need your help to continue to thrive. Insects such as native bees are our most vital pollinators, and native pollinators love native plants. You can apply what you learn to your home garden too! Join in to do light gardening, weeding, plant installation, and maintenance at our pollinator gardens! There are two worksites which alternate - the Judge Morris Estate and the Nature Center. When: Saturdays during the growing season from 9am to 11am. Who: Perfect for individuals or a small group (up to five). Wear: long pants, closed toed shoes and layered clothing that can get dirty and is suitable for the weather. A sun hat and sunscreen are recommended. Bring: gardening gloves if you have them, a personal water bottle and hand tools if you have them. Otherwise, tools will be provided. Parking: You will be notified which site will be the worksite. Parking will be at either the Judge Morris Estate area parking lot on Polly Drummond Road, or at the Nature Center off Hopkins Road (at 1475 Creek Rd).
NOTE: Ticks are active in the park. Please do a tick check when you return home.
