GivingTuesday: Plants for pollinators

Did you know that between 75% and 95% of all flowering plants on earth need help with pollination? 

This is where pollinators like bees, butterflies, and birds come in. These creatures are the key to creating thriving green spaces, providing humans with plentiful sources of food, and ensuring all aspects of the natural ecosystem are healthy and stable.

Without pollinators, Wing Haven wouldn’t be the beautiful, blooming sanctuary that we cherish so much. That's why this GivingTuesday, we've set a goal to raise $3,000 to support our seasonal plants and the pollinators that rely on them.

We’ve set a goal to raise $3,000 to help sustain our gardens for key pollinators.
Will you help us reach that goal?
