Discover Nature's Beauty in Your Neighborhood Parks
Our parks are more than just green spaces; they're vibrant ecosystems that support a diverse array of wildlife. We're excited to introduce our Pocket Refuge and pollinator gardens, designed to create inviting habitats for pollinators and other beneficial creatures.What is a Pocket Refuge?
A Pocket Refuge is a small, carefully designed native garden within a park that aims to restore wildlife habitats and provides essential resources for pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. These refuges feature a variety of native plants that offer nectar, pollen, and shelter.
Pollinator Gardens: A Haven for Wildlife
Pollinator gardens are carefully cultivated spaces that feature plants specifically chosen to attract and support pollinating insects like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. It also helps to maintain a healthy ecosystem and contribute to the overall biodiversity of our parks by providing a source of food and habitat.
Current and Future Plans
We're proud to have established ten parks with thriving pollinator gardens and Pocket Refuge areas. Our goal is to expand these initiatives to five more parks in the near future.
Please keep an eye out on how you can participate and help create these gardens.
