Speaker: Emily Surmont, Native Plant Garden - Project Manager, Indian River Lagoon Aquatic Preserves

In September 2021, the Indian River Lagoon Aquatic Preserves kicked off a native plant pollinator garden project to demonstrate the importance and appeal of lagoon friendly landscaping. A year and a half later, the project has fostered community engagement through garden maintenance, bee and butterfly monitoring, as well as special projects and events. Join us to learn about the wildlife this project has provided for thus far (native butterflies, native bees, birds, and additional wildlife), and how you could get involved!
