🌼 It’s Pollinator Week! 🐝

This week, we're celebrating the bees, butterflies, birds and other pollinators that help sustain the plants, flowers and natural spaces that make our community thrive. While this week highlights their contributions, their work continues all season long and our support can, too!

Consider planting native Minnesota flower species in your yard or garden and visit Lakeville parks such as Valley Lake Park and Ritter Farm Park to observe pollinators in action.
