MOUNT VERNON — June is National Pollinator Month.
Join us for a Picnic with our Pollinator Pals on Thursday June 26 at 6 p.m. at the Arch Park Community Garden.
Activities are geared towards children Kindergarten to 6th grade and will be focused on exploring and connecting with nature through art, games, stories, and food.
These family centered events are sponsored by the Parent Support Initiative, Knox Public Health, and the Green Teens program.
Learn more about these garden superheroes at the first Back to Nature event on June 26 at the Arch Park Community Garden.
More Back to Nature events are scheduled at Arch Park this summer including Art in the Park on Thursday, July 10 and Stories in the Park on Thursday, July 31 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Arch Park is located on Arch Avenue in Mount Vernon.
More than 150 of our common food crops, from avocados to zucchini, rely on pollinators to move pollen among flowers to facilitate fertilization, which ultimately leads to the development of fruits and seeds.
Celebrate the hard work of these busy animals with a special picnic featuring the fruits of their labor.
Knox Community Hospital proudly supports the vibrant pulse of our community by sponsoring the Life & Culture section on Knox Pages, celebrating the stories and experiences that make our region unique.
