Community Calendar

The intention of this small group gathering is to provide support for expectant and postpartum parents/caregivers in nurturing their mental, emotional, and physical well-being. We’ll create a safe and supportive space where attendees can connect, reflect, and grow through their shared and lived experience of pregnancy into parenthood.
Our intended audience includes pregnant individuals, new parents/caregivers, and those navigating the transition into parenthood up to one year, with a focus on accessible, inclusive, and facilitated peer support. Refreshments & light snacks will be provided. Older children up to about age three are welcome and care will be provided in the Children’s Garden.
Held in the natural setting of the Children’s Garden at the SLO Botanical Garden, this event will offer guest speakers, guided journaling, peer support, and facilitated discussions, all rooted in evidence-based care and holistic wellness.

This group will meet once per week on Thursdays, from 10 until 11:30 am – from April 10 until May 15, for a six-week session.

Celebrate spring by learning about our gorgeous, fuzzy native bees, honeybees, butterflies and their extraordinary caterpillars, the stunning diversity and colorful beauty of moths, bats pollinating tropical fruits and flowers (and the cutest baby bats!), and wildflower gardens that are a crucial part of our ecosystem.
At the Faire, you will discover the importance of pollinators to our food supply, our local environment and our gardens. Bees are essential for two-thirds of the food crops we eat every day, but they are dying at alarming rates. Culprits include environmental toxins from pesticides and other chemicals, habitat loss and climate change. Many species of butterfly and bat are also endangered for the same reasons.
It’s vital that we understand and appreciate our pollinator friends. We hope you will don your favorite spring outfit—wings and antennae—and join us for a day full of fun, discovery and hometown community.
Family-Friendly Activities
● Observation beehive with the queen
● Stellaluna the pallid bat, in person
● Presentations by bee, butterfly and bat experts
● Flowerpot painting and planting
● Seed ball-making workshop
● Scavenger hunt with Star Wars-related prizes
● Stunning pollinator photo gallery
● Live music
Local vendors will be selling gifts, pollinator-friendly plants, mushroom compost, sharing gardening tips and locally made mead, an ancient alcoholic drink made from honey.
Amateur astronomers will share views of our sun through high-powered solar telescopes. 2025 is “Solar Maximum”, the peak of the sun’s 11-year cycle when the most flares, spots and protuberances will be visible.
A silent auction and raffle will feature a variety of pollinator-related gift items.

UC Master Gardener Program of San Luis Obispo County extends an invitation to the public to visit our SLO demonstration garden. Bring your lunch, tour the garden, ask questions, or just sit and enjoy the sights & sounds of the Garden of the Seven Sisters. See what’s in bloom and learn something new. Master Gardeners will be available to answer questions. First Wednesday of each month from April to September.
