At Fresno’s 2025 Pride Festival, Willow Avenue is providing packets full of California Poppy Seeds! Native plants like poppies support biodiversity, require less water, and beautify our landscapes. To sow these poppy seeds, simply scatter them in the area you’d like them to grow (fall is the best time to sow them) and wait for rain to do its thing. The seeds will know what to do from there. After they bloom, the poppies will keep reseeding year to year.

If you’d like to learn more about native plants and birds from our watershed, check out our watershed page. You’ll find free line drawings suitable for printing and coloring of a bird and plant from our watershed each month!
