## Caption

To kick off Pollinator Week (June 22 to 28), we're going back to 2002 and the grand opening of the Humber Bay Butterfly Habitat. The park's habitats include a short grass prairie, a wildflower meadow, and the Home Garden with pollinator-friendly backyard plants. Also seen in this picture is 'Guardians', a public art installation by artist Amy Switzer featuring sculpted ravens perched on posts overlooking the garden.
