🐝🦋 Help us count our pollinators!

The Great Southeast Pollinator Census is coming up August 21–22, 2026, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

Participating is simple: choose a pollinator-friendly plant, spend 15 minutes watching it, count each insect that lands on the plant, and record what you see.

Every count helps provide valuable information about the bees, butterflies, and other pollinators that are so important to our environment.

This morning, we had a wonderful Meet & Greet at our Leesburg in Bloom Community Garden! 🥬🥕🍅

It was great to see our gardeners from complete beginners to Master Gardeners come together to introduce themselves, share gardening tips, visit one another’s garden plots, and get to know each other a little better. That’s what makes this garden so special: everyone has something to learn, and everyone has something to share.

The Community Garden is dedicated to growing fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and other edible crops, allowing residents to grow their own food while building lasting friendships and strengthening our community.

If you’re interested in learning more about one of Leesburg in Bloom’s community initiatives, we’d love to hear from you! We’re also planning a Community Garden Build Day soon to construct additional raised garden beds so even more residents can participate.

If you’d like to learn more, reserve a future garden plot, or volunteer on our upcoming build day, send me a message. We’d love to have you join this growing community!
