Since the spring of 2023, we’ve made an effort to care for the bees, butterflies, and other insects that help pollinate our flowers and crops, while creating biodiversity for an overall stronger ecosystem! That means healthier birds, lizards, and even humans. God has placed all these creatures on earth and has called humanity to care for them and all creation. Many of these insects have been decimated by the effects of pollution and pesticides, and planting native and pollinator-friendly plants helps restore them to health.

FBC’s Wonder Pollinator Garden is an official Monarch Waystation!

In 2024, Monarch Watch designated FBC’s Wonder Pollinator Garden as an official Monarch Waystation! But we can’t care for our pollinator friends without your help!

Below are the dates that we will be having Wonder Garden work days, for weeding, digging, planting, mulching, etc. (whatever is needed at the given time!) Just show up at the appointed time on the dates that you can help!

  • (Our next work days will be in spring 2027. Please keep an eye out here for dates when they’re available!)
in season, click for info on pollinators visiting or flora blooming!

Thanks to Lynne Beatty, our official “garden guru” who keeps us organized. Let’s join in our call to care for all of God’s creation!
