With Honey in the Heart worked with the community and stakeholders to create a beautiful, drought tolerant pollinator garden in the first block of Dolores at Market Street in San Francisco. Widespread, careless use of pesticides in both urban and agricultural habitats have created an environment less hospitable to pollinators. They committed to combat these harsh conditions with carefully selected low water, pesticide-free, pollinator friendly plants that will bloom in an unbroken relay all year long. Vivid California Poppies, Sages, spiky Spider Aloe, and other bright, drought tolerant, and pollinator friendly plants can create a much needed habitat for our bees and pollinators. Come help maintain, clean, and plant the Dolores Pollinator Boulevard. No experience or special skills needed. With Honey in the Heart — 2001 Market Street true

Further background: Migratory birds depend on insects for energy during the breeding season and on their long journeys. Natural areas that migratory birds have depended on for mid-journey food are being transformed into agriculture, housing developments, and even parking lots. This #MigratoryBirdDay, we can help give migratory birds a chance to complete their cross-continent expedition by supporting insect habitat. Logistics: Meet at the parking lot off Dixboro Rd. (additional parking on Church St, across Dixboro). Workday sites have unpaved trails and require going off-trail. For your safety, wear long pants, tall socks, and closed-toe shoes.
