If you are an Arivaca resident (in the townsite or surrounding hills) and you are already growing pollinator-friendly plants in your home garden, or want to start, we welcome you to join the Arivaca Pollinator Pathway Project's FREE Home Gardener Program!
All participants will receive a free, colorful Pollinator Pathway Project sign for your property (see design below), a free pollinator-friendly plant, free flower seeds, and a lapel button to show your support for pollinators to others!
