City-wide effort to help pollinators, organized by the Busy Bee Garden Co-op!


The Busy Bee Garden Co-op is a neighbors helping neighbors initiative to create a greener, more bio-diverse Lemon Grove, while fostering community togetherness. Our goal is a healthier city, with equitable access to green spaces that benefit both pollinators and citizens.


These efforts are supported by the following organizations: The Lemon Grove Garden and Nature Club, Wild Ones San Diego, the Monarch Fellowship, and Caterpillar Chow Habitat Farms.


Pollinator gardens can be found at: The Dartmoor Naturehood Project, Mariposa Lane (AKA: The Secret Path of Lemon Grove), the Lemon Grove Bistro, the Lemon Grove Historical Society, San Altos Elementary, and several homes around our wonderful city.

Mariposa Lane

Mariposa Lane is an important path created to help kids get to and from an elementary school. In 2016 a youth group painted a fun mural to make the path more interesting and inviting for the kids. The area would get overgrown with weeds and vegetation until the Busy Bee Garden Co-op took on the task of cleaning it up and planting a native pollinator garden!


Now Mariposa Lane is enjoyed by all the neighbors in the area and includes a native seed library and interactive games for kids.


Mariposa Lane's native plants now host several butterfly species and is a fabulous place to get up close to our many native bee species.
