🌱 Plant a Seed & Save the Bees! 🐝

Join us for the 4th annual Plant a Seed event—a celebration of pollinators, plants, and community!
This year, we’re shining a spotlight on the often-overlooked Mason Bee—a pollination powerhouse! Unlike honeybees, which lose most of their pollen when they clean themselves, Mason Bees carry nearly 100% of the pollen they collect, making them incredibly efficient at helping plants thrive.
We’re also spreading the word about the nationwide decline of butterflies. Habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change are threatening butterfly populations, disrupting ecosystems that rely on their role as pollinators and nutrient-cyclers. Join us to learn how you can make a difference!
Your support helps provide essential materials and educational outreach. Plus, donations of $10 or more include a raffle ticket for a chance to win something cool!
Can’t make it? You can still be part of the fun! Click the big red button at the top of this page to support, and don’t forget to sign up for our newsletter to stay in the loop.
Come plant, learn, and grow with us as we nurture ecosystems and strengthen our community. See you there! 🌿🐝
