Pollinator Garden Tending: Cleanup & Weeding

Pollinator Networks is a Boston-based organization that restores and constructs new native habitats for bees, butterflies, birds, and other pollinators. ​We combine a unique approach of community outreach, art, and education to create the foundation for sustainable change in local ecosystems.

Habitat destruction is one of the biggest threats to pollinator populations across the world. This group of creatures is vital to the process of plant reproduction, and creates a healthy ecosystem that other wildlife (including humans!) depend on. Bringing pollinators to local neighborhoods benefits plants and flowers all over the community. More pollinators mean more fruit, flowers and vegetables. ​ The garden has transformed a neglected eyesore into a community benefit.

Volunteers will be cleaning out trash, weeding, and pruning.  You may sometimes be planting or even touching up murals - you can choose your task! There will be tools and gloves, but if you have your own, please feel free to bring them. You will want to wear clothes that cover your arms and legs, and closed shoes, to protect your skin from possible scratches - hats are good in the summer months.

At Boston Cares, we recognize that diversity, equity, and inclusion are fundamental values that guide our mission and work. Boston Cares is committed to creating a community where everyone is valued, respected, and can come and participate as their authentic selves. We expect that all volunteers and partners join us in promoting a safe and supportive space for everyone.
