Wilbur Community Garden

All hands on deck! Pollinator Garden Volunteers needed! Celebrate Pollinator Week by helping us prepare and plant a pollinator garden on Gross St. acros...s from JFK Elementary School this Fri., June 25th and Sat. June 26th, 10am-1pm.

The Pollinator Garden was designed by the incredible team of @yfarmkingston BARK crew, @kan_landscape_design, and us, @hvbees ! We’re beyond excited to see our collective ideas for Phase 1 of our Conserving Pollinators through Community Engagement Project coming to life on land protected and stewarded by the Kingston Land Trust @kingstonlandtrust . This project is supported by a @nysdec Environmental Justice Community Impact Grant. #pollinatorgarden #pollinatorweek2021 #kingstony #growahealthierkingston #communityengagedart #volunteers #savethebees #savethepollinators #environmentaljustice See more

All the names I know from nurse: Gardener's garters, Shepherd's purse, Bachelor's buttons, Lady's smock, And the Lady Hollyhock. ... Fairy places, fairy things, Fairy woods where the wild bee wings, Tiny trees for tiny dames These must all be fairy names! Tiny woods below whose boughs Shady fairies weave a house; Tiny tree-tops, rose or thyme, Where the braver fairies climb! Fair are grown-up people's trees, But the fairest woods are these; Where, if I were not so tall, I should live for good and all. Robert Louis Stevenson - The Flowers. Jessie Willcox Smith - The Flowers, A Child's Garden of Verses by Robert Louis Stevenson, 1905.

They're the treasured signs of summer and to many, part of a nostalgic memory. Nature Conservancy Magazine talks to firefly expert, Lynn Faust.
