Pests Out, Pollinators In: Pesticide-Free Solutions for Your Yard – 6/25/2026
Are you ready to create a beautiful, comfortable outdoor space without relying on synthetic pesticides? As part of our Your Yard, Our Climate initiative, Sustainable Westport is teaming up with Wakeman Town Farm and Wild Ones to show you a simpler, safer way to instill beauty and comfort in your yard. Instead of working against nature, we’ll equip you with natural, effective strategies to deter pests, support vital local pollinators, and build deeply healthy soil right here in Westport.
Plus, you won’t leave empty-handed! Participants who preorder will take home their very own “Mosquito Bucket” – a safe, affordable, and highly targeted DIY approach to controlling mosquitoes at the source without harming the bees, butterflies, and birds we love.
Event Details:

- 🕕 6:30 p.m.
- 📍 Wakeman Town Farm – 134 Cross Highway, Westport
- 🎟️ Tickets: Get Tickets Here (Note: Mosquito bucket kits must be pre-ordered separately by June 23rd via the link below).
This event is presented in partnership with Wakeman Town Farm and Wild Ones.
Why You Should Come
Our backyards are more than just lawns; they are vital ecosystems. Traditional lawn care often relies on harsh chemical sprays that disrupt local biodiversity, strip the soil of nutrients, and inadvertently harm the pollinators our environment depends on. By shifting to natural yard care, you can protect your family and pets while actively contributing to a healthier, more climate-resilient Westport.
This event is for:
- Homeowners and renters looking for safe, effective alternatives to chemical pest control.
- Gardening enthusiasts and nature lovers eager to attract more bees, butterflies, and local wildlife.
- Families wanting a safer, chemical-free outdoor environment for kids and pets to play in.
- Climate advocates interested in practical, at-home actions that support local biodiversity.
🦟 About the Mosquito Bucket Kit
The kit is handled separately from the main event registration. To ensure we have enough supplies for everyone, please pre-order your kit by June 23rd.
