The Florida Museum invites you to a special event at the Millhopper Branch of the Alachua County Library District to help support pollinator conservation. Pick up a free plant and plant for pollinators!
Pollinators are an extremely important part of the ecosystem but you don’t have to be a researcher to help protect them. Planting native flowering plants in your yard, patio and even in pots can provide vital habitats and food for bees, butterflies, moths and other pollinators. Learn about the importance of native plants, wildflowers and more at this family-friendly event!
Each visitor can choose one plant from a variety of native species, available on first come, first served basis until we’re out.
Full Plant List Coming Soon!
