It's All About the Pollinators!

Join us for a free educational talk on gardening for pollinators and how to participate in the Great Florida Pollinator Census! The census takes place on August 22nd and 23rd, 2025, where we invite the public to sit in front of a blooming plant for 15-minutes and count pollinators with a provided count sheet and insect guide!

We will start the training with learning about pollinator gardening and then go over how to participate in the count. After the training, we will go out to the UF/IFAS demonstration gardens and conduct a pollinator count! Everything will be provided to you! There is also an additional optional activity to build your own take-home pollinator habitat in a pot for $10.

This fun educational event is perfect for all ages and skill levels—no experience necessary. Come get your hands dirty and leave with the tools and knowledge to make a real difference for our pollinators! Ready to help nature thrive?
