🌼 Wildflowers for Willmore! 🌼

A huge thanks to Friends of Willmore Park for organizing such a wonderful morning of wildflower planting β€” and to everyone who came out to help make it happen! 🌸🐝

Volunteers helped plant nearly 200 wildflowers around the wetland area, creating a vibrant space for butterflies, bees, and other pollinators to thrive.

We’re proud that Grub & Groove was able to help fund these efforts β€” contributing $6,600 this year toward projects that make our neighborhood parks bloom brighter. πŸ’šπŸŒΏ

Here’s to growing together, one wildflower at a time! 🌼🌳
