Feed a Bee at Wetherby Park

Support your buzzing friends by establishing pollinator plants in your yard.

These free seeds and plants will be available to visitors while supplies last:
• Butterfly weed
• Anise hyssop
• Purple coneflower
• Shortgrass native pollinator mix
• Self-heal
• Calendula
• Dutch white clover

For plant transplants, please bring small, 3-4” pots. (We’ll have some available, but we may run out.)

We’ll also provide free publications and ideas to help your pollinator patches get off to a good start.

Yummy snacks are generously provided by New Pioneer Co-op.
