Join fellow Rotarians in a day of Service at Killdeer Farms in West Sacramento.
We will be planting a pollinator garden under the instruction of the farm owner.
SERVICE DAY INFORMATION
Location: 4951 Jefferson Blvd, West Sacramento, CA 95691
- There is ample parking on Armfield Avenue; signs will be out
Time: 8:30am- 12pm
- Come ready to plant, and feel free to stay for an optional BYO lunch on the farm afterwards.
Things to Know:
- What to Wear: It is recommended to dress in layers and wear hats and sunscreen. Pants for bending and kneeling, and comfortable shoes for gardening and yard work are essential.
- What should we bring: Extra tools, specifically digging shovels -- not hand spades -- will be critical. Two or three additional rock rakes would also be helpful for moving bark around the plants once they're in the ground.
- Food and Drink: Please bring your own water! The service project is from 8:30am-12pm, with the option to stay for a BYO picnic lunch at noon. If you plan to join for lunch, please bring your own lunch.
We are looking for 10-15 Rotarians to join us on this service project.

Our club has been awarded a district grant to design and install a pollinator garden in West Sacramento. This will be known as the pollinator garden at Killdeer Farms. This garden is more than just a pretty space – it’s an ecosystem at work, designed to rehabilitate heavy clay soil, support native pollinators, restore biodiversity, and build resilience against severe weather. By planting California native plants and other deep-rooted perennials, we’re helping nature rebuild itself, one flower and bug at a time.
Once installed, the garden will be open to visitors who will learn fascinating facts about soil, plants, and the biodiversity they support via educational materials and self-guided tours. Guests can linger, observe, and let curiosity lead the way!
