Nurture the Nature that Sustains Us

Our bees can’t do it alone. Through training, advocacy, and community events, help us foster a world where nature and pollinators can thrive.

Upcoming Events

Bee in the Garden for a Movie

It is our hope to enjoy the National Geographic Documentary titled “Secrets of Bees” together in the garden; however, we aren’t quite sure if streaming services allow this anymore. If the Documentary can’t happen, we will partake in another bee-friendly movie to enjoy! We will have snacks and blankets, but feel free to BYOB or bring a treat to share! The Story Garden is located at 3500 Humboldt Ave N.

May 24th, 9pm to 11pm - The Story Garden

Fall Market

September TBD, 9am to 12pm - Story Garden

An opportunity to sell honey direct from the garden it’s made from. There will also be homemade wares, veggies, and, we hope, Honey Pie. This will be a hyperlocal pop-up “Farmer’s Market.” Want to contribute something to sell? Contact us, and we will arrange it! Our bonfire will be going, coffee will be available, and the garden will be open for enjoying!
