What if helping protect pollinators only took 15 minutes?

On Aug. 21-22, Floridians of all ages can join the Great Southeast Pollinator Census, a citizen science effort led in Florida by UF/IFAS Extension. All you need is a blooming plant, 15 minutes, and a little curiosity.

Choose a flowering plant in your yard, a park, schoolyard, or community garden, then count the bees, butterflies, beetles, and other pollinators that visit. No scientific experience or insect identification skills are required!

In 2025, Floridians submitted more than 5,100 counts across 59 counties and helped create 183 new sustainable pollinator habitats. This year, the goal is to reach all 67 Florida counties and double participation to 10,000 counts.

Hello members of PGGC!

Happy Summer! Rain has finally started here in PG so everyone, and all of the plants, are much happier. And, it is cooler here than in my old stomping grounds around Philadelphia! Weird weather everywhere.

The Summer edition of Garden Tales is attached. Take some time to read all about what is going on in the club. I would especially appreciate it if you would consider taking on a role in the club leadership. We have several openings as described in the newsletter. Let me know if you have any questions.

Take care and mind your health when you spend time outdoors - drink water, wear sunscreen and a hat. Enjoy your summer wherever you are!
