Friendly Friends of Garner volunteers and staff get together for the Annual "Open House". This event is every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving.

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.



The wildflower garden is located behind the Visitor Center.

The Master Naturalists will be working on the Pollinator Garden. Coming Soon

If you would like to help maintain the garden or just put in some time one day a month, contact us on the Contact Us page.
