Hey, Sunshine Kitchen is proud of its Pollinator Monday program, an initiative aimed at supporting local pollinators. Every Monday, guests are invited to take home a complimentary pollinator friendly plant. The program is sponsored by partner brands and organizations that are equally invested in protecting and promoting the health of pollinators, such as bees and butterflies. This program underscores the restaurant’s dedication to sustainability and environmental stewardship. These plants have supported hundreds, if not thousands, of individual pollinators and dozens of pollinating species.
