MKE Artists has teamed up with Friends of Humboldt Park to bring more sustainable practices to our park! Working with the pollinator committee, we’ll be assisting in planning and planting a pollinator garden in front of the Pavilion. We also have provided seeds for educational events and community outreach in preparation for the project!
2025 Humboldt in Harmony
Expanding on the previous year’s progress, MKE Artists plans to create new packaging for seeds, featuring designs from the artists. There will be educational opportunities to learn about seed collection and Native species, and volunteers needed to sort and package the collected seeds.
Packaged seeds will be available both on our website and locally at Riverwest Grown, with funds going directly to the group.
2024 Native Seed Collection
Led by Kayleigh Ildiko, over 50 species of native seed species were collected from personal gardens, Milwaukee public parks, and wild specimens. They were sorted, packaged, and the spreadsheet was created to document their identification and care.
Seeds were made available for sale on our website and funds went towards becoming a nonprofit.
