      Add to Calendar 2024-05-11T00:00:00 2024-05-11T00:00:00 America/New_York Yale Day of Service: CA, San Francisco - With Honey in the Heart With Honey in the Heart focuses on connecting people to their surrounding environment, educating about the benefits of pollinators, creating healthy habitat for all pollinators and elevating the status of bees as the divine beings that they are and their crucial role in pollination and our well being through policy and advocacy. 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
