Member Appreciation Event

Have you always wanted to start your own California native plant garden but aren't sure where to start? Join Rivers & Lands Conservancy at our community-planted California native plant garden at Sycamore Highlands Park for this family-friendly Member Appreciation Event on Saturday, May 4th! We love our gardens and want our community to discover the joy of attracting native bees, butterflies, and birds to their own yards, balconies, or windowsills.

At the event, there will be opportunities to wander the garden, learn how to identify bird songs, and have some fun with the kiddos on a nature scavenger hunt. You can even drop by to simply grab a list of resources to help inspire your own garden and pick up a FREE narrowleaf milkweed seedling (while supplies last!). Click here for more event details.

We invite past and present members and future supporters to join us. Not a member? No problem! Become a member today by signing up here or come to the event and become a member there. THE FIRST FIVE NEW MEMBERS who sign up at the event get a free 1-gallon plant to get your garden growing!

Join us at the Riverside Insect Fair!
