"First-come, first-served” isn’t a phrase often used to describe native wildflowers. But that’s exactly how the Florida Museum of Natural History and Florida Wildflower Foundation will be sending gratis plants home with attendees at a giveaway hosted at Mead Botanical Garden this weekend.

The Plant for Pollinators event will support pollinator conservation with a one-plant-per-guest giveaway, bug zoo, landscaping tutorial and sandhill and scrub restoration area exploration.

Take home a plant, beautify your patio and save a butterfly, moth or bee. These insect pollinators are vital to helping plants reproduce — and climate change is threatening their existence.

Noon, Saturday, Aug. 3, Mead Garden, 1300 S. Denning Drive, Winter Park, meadgarden.org, free.
