You’ll learn:

• The history of the property and the remediation process
• How this devastated parcel of land was revitalized to support pollinators while providing a delightful neighborhood pocket park for the public
• The role of the K-State Johnson County Extension Master Naturalists in maintaining the gardens and restoring habitat at the site
• How you can install a simple, no-dig native garden to benefit butterflies, bees, dragonflies, and more
