Help us keep the Wilkes Park pollinator patch in bloom!

Event Details and Reminders
Please bring a reusable water bottle if you have one, and any snacks you may need. Wear sturdy close-toed shoes and layers to dress for the weather.
Work looks and feels different for every body. We encourage volunteers to go at their own pace and take breaks to rest.
