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!

Maria Hoffmann is the Director of Little Roots, an outdoor education program serving children and teens across Baldwin County. Her work is centered around a simple goal: helping people reconnect with the natural world, from young children exploring the woods for the first time to adults learning how to engage with the land in a more meaningful way.
She leads local foraging walks and teaches others how to identify and use the wild foods that grow right here in our area through her programs Alabama Foraging Society. Through this work, Maria brings together outdoor education, conservation, and everyday life, encouraging a deeper understanding of the ecosystems that surround us.
Her conservation project, Gulf Coast Roots, focuses on citizen science and local environmental efforts, including oyster restoration and habitat awareness along the Gulf Coast.
In this hands-on FoodRx class, Maria will guide us in identifying and harvesting Oyster Mushrooms—a native Southeast delicacy found right here on our local hardwoods. Afterward, we’ll gather for a plant-forward feast celebrating the flavors of the forest, with vegan options for every single course!
