 Celebrate National Pollinator Week
Pollinator Week is an annual celebration in support of pollinator health that was initiated and is managed by Pollinator Partnership. It is a time to raise awareness for pollinators and spread the word about what we can do to protect them. The great thing about Pollinator Week is that you can celebrate and get involved any way you like! The City of West Palm Beach Office of Sustainability is celebrating National Pollinator Week by mailing free native wildflower seed packets to City of West Palm Beach residents and businesses! Growing native plants adds beauty and important habitats for wildlife, especially for pollinators. Even a small backyard garden can make a big difference. Plant the seeds in your yard and watch pollinators come right to your doorstep.
Free wildflower seeds available (while supplies last):

 Currie Park Redevelopment
The City of West Palm Beach and West Palm Beach Community Redevelopment Agency broke ground on the much-anticipated redesign of Currie Park on Tuesday, May 6, 2025. Located on North Flagler Drive, Currie Park is a waterfront gem that was redesigned to incorporate many of the concepts and desires collected during numerous community outreach meetings. Members of George Currie's family were on hand to celebrate the legacy of their ancestor, who served as the City's seventh Mayor from 1901 to 1904, and joined in the ceremonial groundbreaking event.
The West Palm Beach CRA is providing a series of community outreach events to gather input of what residents, stakeholders, and businesses would like to see in terms of park programming, events, and amenities that will be provided at the park. The next session is on Thursday, May 29!
