Pollinator Garden Volunteer Day
2026-06-13 08:00 - 11:00 | Anna T. Jeanes School property, 6925 Twin Beech Rd, Fairhope, AL, 36532, United States
Our Pollinator Garden is ready for a new season! 🌸 🐝 After one of our beautiful live oak trees on the Anna T. Jeanes property came down in a wind storm last year, we decided to honor its legacy by creating a pollinator garden around it. We brought in rich soil and compost, and thanks to a mighty group of volunteers, we planted more than thirty native flowers. The garden flourished in the hot summer months, serving as a vibrant sanctuary for bees, ladybugs, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
This year, board member Ann Lemis oversaw the replenishment of the garden with local, indigenous pollinator plants. As the flowers return, so do the weeds! We are putting together a monthly “weeding team” to keep this special space thriving. We would love your help.
First Gathering: Saturday, June 13 | 8:00 a.m. (to beat the heat!)
Where: Anna T. Jeanes School property
6925 Twin Beech Road, Fairhope, AL
What to wear/bring: sunscreen, sun protection, and gloves
To sign up: Email us at info@hopecommunityal.org or just show up!
