Daniel Stralka Memorial Pollinator Garden
at Dominican University of California

A public space and student research garden

This beautiful and meaningful tribute honors the memory of Daniel Stralka, a local beekeeper, scientist, gardener, and pollinator advocate.

Established in 2022 by beekeeper Bonnie Morse, it has become a sanctuary for bees, butterflies, and other vital species.

 

With a shared commitment to biodiversity, Refugia Marin is now stewarding this vibrant space to carry its vision forward.
