A new Pollinator Garden is coming soon behind the Visitor Center at Garner State Park! Filled with native plants, it will attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Once complete, an interpretive ranger will offer talks and activities to help visitors learn about the vital role of pollinators in our ecosystem.
bird feeders are adjacent to the Visitor CENTER and the Bird Blind, and trails are just a short walk away.
