The Garden Club of Celebration invites nature lovers of all ages to take part in the Great Southeast Pollinator Census on Saturday, August 23rd, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the the beautiful Deerwoods Pollinator Garden.

This interactive, community science event offers residents a chance to slow down, sip lemonade, and become citizen scientists for the day. Participants will be provided with a tally sheet to record the number of pollinators—such as bees and butterflies—that land on the plant of their choice within a 15-minute window.

Whether you’re a seasoned gardener, a curious student, or just someone who enjoys the outdoors, the census is a fun and educational way to support conservation. Attendees can choose to stand or are encouraged to bring a comfy chair for a more relaxed experience.

Cold lemonade and sweet treats will be available, courtesy of the Garden Club, making it a perfect summer outing for families, friends, or anyone with a passion for nature.

The data collected will contribute to a regional effort to track and protect pollinator populations across the Southeast.  So come out, enjoy a treat, and help make a difference—one pollinator at a time.
