Pollinator Garden Wildflower Seeds & Shelter Pets This Spring

Spring in Sonoma

Our celebration of Spring begins this year with the collaboration between Art of Leisure, Sonoma Syrup Co., Sonoma Ecology Center, as well as 38 shops, wineries and hotels in Sonoma Valley as we share 450 native California wildflower pollinator garden gifts with the community. Each of these gifts, when planted, will help to support the habitat of our pollinator friends in the air.  This year, these seeds are especially helpful for our native bees who are constantly foraging for their food.

Look for this flyer in the window or on property at the locations below:

Also, just because they are such sweet animals, here are a few of my recently delivered Pet Portraits and a darling kitty from a few years ago.
