NEW! HOME GARDENER PROGRAM

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!

All participants will receive delivery of a free, colorful Pollinator Pathway Project sign for your property (see design below), free seeds of pollinator-friendly plants, and free brochures about the project to give out to interested friends and family!

Visit the Arivaca Library during open hours and get a registration form from their brochure rack, complete it and turn it in at the front desk;
Send us an email at arivacapollinatorpathway@gmail.com and request a registration form. Print it out, then either email the completed form back to us or "snail mail" it to this address: Arivaca Pollinator Pathway Project, c/o Arivaca Dancehall, PO Box 552, Arivaca AZ 85601.
