The pollinator garden at Tomaso Park's entrance will be in full bloom before we know it. Wm. A Ruth Green Farms coordinated the planting of the 2025 Pollinator Garden for the Village of Huntley, Huntley Park District and Rotary Club of Huntley and oversaw selection of native flowers and bushes to provide protection and nourishment for local birds, insects, bees, and small animals to help balance our environment.

The first Village Pollinator Garden was created in 2022, east of the Huntley Library in Paresik Park, followed by Borhart Park, then Betsey Warrington Park last year. We hope you visit each Huntley Garden and become motivated to enjoy designing and planting a pollinator area in your yard or on your business property. 35% of the world’s food crops and 75% of flowering plants require pollination to reproduce. We need pollinators.
