In commemoration of National Public Lands Day, we invite you to join the National Park Service (NPS) at Camp Nelson National Monument for the planting of a pollinator garden starting at 10:00 am on Saturday, September 27, 2025. Our pollinator garden will contain 23 different types of long-lasting, resilient wildflowers that are native to Kentucky and the wider Midwestern region. Not only are these beautiful flowers visually attractive, they also provide a nutrient rich source of food for Kentucky’s pollinators. By creating habitats dedicated to our precious pollinators, we can protect the biodiversity of these keystone species. During this volunteer event, we will construct two garden beds, paint, prepare and place soil, and plant seeds that will bloom in Spring. The event will take place next to the Visitor Center. Participants should wear pants, shirts, and closed-toed shoes they are comfortable getting dirty. Participants may also wish to bring water and sunscreen. Latex gloves and tools will be provided.
The volunteer event is free and open to the public!
