Join us in a celebration of pollinators! At the 2025 Pollinator Palooza families will learn all about all the things that pollinate plants: ants, bats, bees, birds, butterflies, moths, and wind. Several exploration stations will demonstrate how, thanks to pollination, we reap the benefits of seeds, fruits, honey, and species diversity.

Pollinator Palooza is a free event and no registration is required.

Even more Pollinator Friends are partnering with The Brenton Arboretum for this year’s event. Special guests include:

• The Blank Park Zoo’s Plant.Grow.Fly. Conservation Team
• Central Iowa Bee Keepers Association
• Trees Forever
• Dallas County Conservation
• MJ’s Hometown Honey
• Xerces
• Art by Kat Studio
• Iowa PBS
• and more to come!
