GARDEN TOUR GUIDES

If you love talking about native plants, birds, butterflies, pollinators or Florida ecosystems, we’d love to have you join our Native Butterfly Garden tour celebrating Earth Day as a volunteer Garden Guide! Garden Guides will welcome visitors, answer questions, and chat about native plants and the habitat gardens. Talking points, garden descriptions and other resources will be provided. By no means do you have to be an expert to volunteer, just someone who enjoys meeting fellow fans of birds, bees, and native flowers and helping them enjoy their visit. We also need volunteers for the Nectar party.

BUTTERFLY WALK

Join Tampa Bay Butterfly Foundation and NABA Tampa Bay on a butterfly walk to continue our monthly monitoring of butterfly species at Gadsen Park in South Tampa. Registration is required. Free for NABA members, $5 for non-NABA members.
