Sustainability is at the core of what the landscape design and build firm does, and they’ve selected special guests accordingly.

In addition, biota welcomes guests to discuss the importance of pollinators. Beez Kneez (thebeezkneezdelivery.com), the honeybee education organization known for delivering raw, local honey by bicycle, is bringing along a beehive for observation, safety equipment to try on and honey for sale.
