CNPS SCV Wildflower Ambassadors

IMG 2893 jennifer wfaCNPS SCV Wildflower Ambassadors (WFA) hand out free native seeds and information at events and library talks, join and assist with tours of local native gardens, enjoy seed packing parties together, pitch in at pollinator gardens and restoration projects and promote native gardening on social media. Above all, they have a good time while inspiring people to start their own native gardens and create habitat for our native bees, butterflies, birds and more. 

The program is lead by Jennifer Dirking, the founder and inspiration for the Bring Back Bay Area Bees and Butterflies (BBBABB) group on Nextdoor. In the BBBABB Nextdoor group, members share ideas and upcoming events, invite friends to join, and post pictures of their gardens and of wildflowers they saw on hikes.
