A universal plea for all humanity . . . a wish we all share. It was tied with a little string to a Wishing Tree at Arlington Garden. I noticed it was dated today 6.25.26, so it seemed important to share this wish beyond the garden and out into to the world today.

#LittleFreeLibraries are turning into '#LittleBeeLibraries' to give #pollinators a cozy place to rest

May 28, 2026

"Rachael Harms Mahlandt specializes in 'sidewalk joy.'

"For years, the #PortlandOR artist, who goes by @pdxdinorama on social media, has been helping her neighbors transform ordinary walkways, curb gardens, and front yards into colorful, interactive art installations.

"Through the Worldwide Sidewalk Joy Map, Harms Mahlandt encourages artists around the world to 'add whimsy' to their own neighborhoods with tiny #PuzzleLibraries, #WishingTrees, #ToySwaps, miniature #ArtMuseums, #PlantExchanges, #DinoDioramas — and, of course, little #FreeLibraries.

"And one of her latest additions to the list isn’t just sparking joy; it’s helping the pollinators in her neighborhood thrive.

"On May 5, Manlandt shared a video of a Little Bee Library, a #bookbox that had been transformed into a miniature garden for local pollinators to rest and recharge."
