in 2022, Kathy Kleinsteiber took the initiative to reach out to the city and get permission to start a little pollinator garden, which has grown and grown to encompass the whole northwest edge of Kirk Park! If you haven't yet, be sure to take a leisurely stroll through the Kirk Park Native Plant Pollinator Garden, enjoy the beautiful plants and flowers, and wonder at all the bees and butterflies. She and other volunteers are out there tending to the garden most Wednesday and Saturday mornings in, case you want to help her do some weeding, or just stop by to thank her for adding such beauty to our neighborhood and an important habitat for our much needed pollinators!
