Pollinator Walk
2026-06-14 12:00 - 14:30 | Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, 18220 N Hwy 1, Fort Bragg, CA, 95437
Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens honors the impact of National Pollinator Month each June by highlighting the essential role pollinators play in supporting biodiversity, healthy ecosystems, and nearly one out of every three bites of food we eat.
Join us for a guided field walk with renowned biodiversity explorer and Naturalist Damon Tighe. Learn to spot and photograph pollinators around the gardens. Bring your cell phones and cameras, and learn the tricks for sneaking up on bees, flies, butterflies, and the occasional beetle, and which photos you need to get them identified. The walk will also focus on floral scents, as they can often help you understand what pollinators might be showing up to these plants.
Whether you are a seasoned naturalist or simply curious about the buzzing world around you, this event offers a chance to slow down, observe closely, and connect with the small but mighty creatures keeping our gardens — and planet — thriving.
The Details​​:
The walk will begin at the MCBG Farmhouse.
Come prepared to use your cell phone or camera to take photos and upload them to iNaturalist
We will cover some ground across a variety of terrain (gravel, grass, uneven surfaces). For your comfort and safety, we recommend sturdy, comfortable footwear.
Be prepared for the weather with appropriate layers.
Bring a water bottle, notebook, and a pencil/pen. If you have one, bring a hand lens.
Extra Credit:
Make the most of your Pollinator Walk experience by joining Damon Tighe for his Saturday afternoon talk, “Stinky Flowers and the Pollinators That Love Them,” the day before. Discover the surprising world of flies and other often-overlooked native pollinators, then bring that knowledge into the gardens during Sunday’s field walk as you learn to spot, photograph, and better understand the remarkable creatures keeping our ecosystems buzzing along. Tiny wings, enormous impact.

Bloom Or Bust: Gillian Grogan Tour Kick-Off Concert at Mendocino Grove
2026-06-14 17:00 - 20:00 | Mendocino Grove, 9601 Hwy 1, Mendocino, CA, 95460, United States
**Dinner and drink available but not included in ticket price. Outdoor. All ages. 5pm Campfire. 6pm Concert.**
Sonoma County indie, avant-folk artist Gillian Grogan is hitting the road this summer, releasing two new studio singles and sharing her signature sounds with audiences from Seattle to Boston, Asheville to Denver, Bozeman to the Bay and many towns between. Let’s give her a Grove-worthy send-off and enjoy a night of magical music and good food and company around the campfire.
Her forthcoming release “Ants In The Garden” made a huge splash as one of the top five finalists in last year’s NPR Tiny Desk Contest. The much-anticipated studio single arrives this June alongside what promises to be a festive first few weeks of tour, performing as a duo with Madeleine Froncek on the bass and backup vocals!
Grogan has woven together little strands of folk, indie, rock, soul and nature itself into a sonic landscape “unlike anything else you’ve heard in ‘folk’ music today” (Ear To The Ground). Tickled strings, floating vocals, hammered riffs and belted requests—she has taken the plot and given it curves, let it swell and shrink back again. Her debut album Neither Lost Nor Found rumbles with a thirst for adventure, devastating loss and hopeful love against an endless quest for balance, for peace.
Untamed and untethered, her pure yet earthy voice will silence the room one moment and have it in stitches the next. NPR Music’s Felix Contreras calls her performance “six strings and the truth.” The Woven Collective calls it “an unforgiving tuggin’ at your roots…like gentle reminders of another life you haven’t had yet.”
Grogan recently finished recording her second studio album, Honey Moon, at 2200 Studios (formerly The Record Plant) in Sausalito, CA with Grammy-nominated co-producer Ben Bloomberg and Grammy-nominated recording engineer Damien Lewis. Honey Moon explores questions without answers, love without purpose, and chords without resolve. It embraces readiness without preparation, vulnerabilities without judgement, and seeks to release the present from the past. It is a collection of songs and interludes that speak to a single truth—that it is our flaws which make us most beautiful, just as it is the dust and pollution in the earth’s atmosphere which casts a warm amber hue on the moon at the horizon, as it rises, as it falls, and rises again.
Catch her evolving live performance on tour across the United States all summer, where $1 from each ticket sold will go directly into the album “Honey Fund”, a crowdfunded campaign to raise the rest of the money needed to launch this independent record release! There’s no record label pushing this out, just team GG and all of you! Come pre-order the record, enjoy some new tour-exclusive merch, and kick back for what promises to be a whimsical journey through the sights and sounds of your new favorite ramblin’, deep-feeling North American songstress.
Pairs well with massive vistas, bustling gardens, light mischief, hope and traveling alone.
“Six strings and the truth” – NPR Music
“A stunning and infectious voice.” – Montana Records
“Powerhouse emotive folk storytelling.” – We All Need Someone To Shout For
“Experimental, deep and sensational.” – Ear To The Ground
