It's an all-ages event! In case of rain, the event will be moved inside the library.

Celebrate and learn about pollinators and their importance to our well-being. Learn what you can do to help pollinators by planting and nurturing their habitat. 

  • Three experts will be on hand to feature some of their favorites pollinators: Monarch butterflies, honey bees, and hummingbirds. 
  • Naturalist Kim White will have live monarch life stage examples and answer all your questions about their life cycle and habitat preference. 
  • Beekeeper Lori Harris will have live honey bees displayed safely for all to see their complex social system. 
  • Local birder Bob Fisher will explain the role of hummingbirds in pollination and help you attract these flying jewels to your garden. 
  • Also, learn about the Illinois Monarch Project including how you can help.
  • Tour and learn more about the library's Prairie Patch.
  • Visit with Darien Garden Club members who can help you get started with ideas for your very own pollinator garden and walk away with your own milkweed starter package to start your own pollinator garden. 
  • Take and Make bags will available with pollinator information and activities for the youth in attendance. 

This event also is a celebration of the long-term partnership of the library and the Darien Garden Club.
