Zoom November 14 @12PM
The Frank St Bee & Butterfly Garden exists to provide a beautiful space to build friendships and community, while learning how to support local pollinators and ecosystems. Established in 2020 in the Right of Way strip beside the Staples parking lot at Bank and Frank, the garden has now grown to span 2 city blocks, covers both public and private property, and has over 50 active volunteers and 100 species of native plants.
Sam Rohe (they/them) is the Volunteer Coordinator by title, but they do a bit of everything in the garden including programming, social media, and outreach. More info at: linktr.ee/frankstbbg
This zoom meeting may be recorded.
