Join local insect lovers and photographers, representatives from Bee City USA, and the UCSD Pollinator Club in the Point Loma Native Plant Garden for a Pollinator Safari. Local pollinator enthusiasts will lead short walks around the garden looking for bees, wasps, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other insects visiting the flowers and flying around the garden. We’ll talk about taking photos and collecting data on inaturalist.org. And we’ll have tables with displays of native pollinators, sharing photos and more so you can get a closer look at some of the beautiful and unique pollinators found in the San Diego River Watershed.
Located just uphill from the San Diego River estuary, the garden is part of the City of San Diego's Collier Park West between Ocean Beach and Point Loma. This garden also features a native plant nursery where we nurture seedlings grown from seed and cuttings harvested on site. Come visit the garden and nursery for inspiration for your own native plant installation in your yard, patio, or porch.
Here are a few tips to help you prepare for the event:
- Items to Bring: Drinking water, snacks, hat, other forms of sun protection
