Program Description:
Let’s buzz into the world of pollinators and plants. In this interactive program, we’ll explore how bees, butterflies, and other pollinators rely on native plants and how plants, in turn, depend on these creatures. Then, we’ll roll up our sleeves and make native seeds balls filled with native wildflower seeds. Each participant will take one home to help support pollinators in their own outdoor space.
All programs are provided inside the organizations facility or in a designated outdoor space. We will need tables and chairs for program participants and about a half hour pre program to set up the space.
