Bound by Beauty was created by my friend and neighbor Mary Benton. To say Mary is inspiring in her quest to help pollinators thrive and to connect people with nature is an understatement.

Pollinators are essential to life. Yet, pollinators are in peril- the beautiful Monarch butterfly is now endangered.

Bound by Beauty's mission is to Connect, Educate, Transform, and Replicate. Together we can save the pollinators and nurture ourselves. Nature is transformative.

Bound by Beauty is also dedicated to helping children learn about nature and in doing so, children become stewards of nature.

What Bound by Beauty has accomplished since last year's Miami Give Day is incredible. Bound by Beauty is on a mission to save the pollinators.

I so hope you will find it in your heart to give to this very worthy cause. One of my favorite quotes by Henry David Thoreau: "In Wildness is preservation of the world." Let's do this.
