What Keeps Going Between the Events

Our events are one day each. The rest of the year runs on this: seedlings started by the thousand, hives kept and split, and habitat put wherever the community gathers.

Greenhouse & Vegetable Garden

We start thousands of native seedlings each season and grow organic fruit and vegetables, a working demonstration of sustainable, pollinator-friendly land.

The Apiary

Our managed honeybee hives anchor the Sponsor a Hive program. We keep the bees, split the honey, and use every frame as a teaching tool.

Community

Community Plantings & Green Spaces

From native plant donations to the Funny Farm rescue to shoreline plantings and public green spaces, we put pollinator habitat where the community gathers.

Looking for a specific event? Every install, school visit, and volunteer day has its own photos and video on the events page.

Inside the Greenhouse & Garden

Every pollinator garden starts here. We grow thousands of native seedlings each season and raise organic fruit and vegetables, a working model of pollinator-friendly land.
