Adirondack Pollinator Festival and Native Plant Sale
Lake Placid’s Uihlein Farm is the place to “bee” on June 1, 2024.
Visit Lake Placid on June 1, 2024, for the 7th annual Adirondack Pollinator Festival and Native Plant Sale. The event takes place at the Uihlein Farm Greenhouse.
AdkAction will host the event in partnership with Northern NY Audubon, The Wild Center, and Paul Smith’s College. They will offer 15 varieties of native flowering plants grown right here in the Adirondacks to benefit pollinators. These species are selected based on their presence in New York State, habitat value, and the nutrition they offer to pollinators throughout the year.

Each plant has been carefully sourced or grown from seed to ensure that they have never come in contact with neonicotinoids (a class of insecticides harmful to pollinators).
