Love Your Alley is about collaboration, sustainability, creativity and beauty. It is transforming our underutilized alleys into extended living space for everyone to enjoy, while creating our own Homegrown National Park in 43209 with native plants supporting our pollinators and assisting in flood prevention. This year we are focusing on all the ways we can support our birds in Bexley. These events and speakers are scheduled throughout the month of May to help participants learn about native plants, enhancing gardens for pollinators and much more! Thank you to the Bexley Community Foundation and Monarch Joint Venture (through OPHI partnership) for their generous grants!
