We’re kicking off summer with a fun and educational event for kids this Sunday at 10:30 AM at Warner Park and Gardens — the Kids Pollinator Project!
Little gardeners will learn about the important role pollinators play in our environment and get hands-on planting pollinator-friendly flowers in the community garden. It’s a great way to dig in the dirt, learn something new, and help make our neighborhood greener and more beautiful.
Come ready to plant, play, and learn. Bring a hand shovel and gloves. If not, don’t worry, just bring your enthusiasm (and maybe a sun hat)!
When: Sunday June 1 at 10:30 AM
Where: Warner Park and Gardens
Who: All kids and families welcome!
We hope to see you there!
