Time: 11:00 am – 12:30 pm

Cost: Age 0-6 $3.50/ Youth 7-17 $7/ Members $12/ Non-members $15

Location: Pavilion

In part 1 of our pollinator series, get ready to dig into the world of pollinators! Bees, butterflies, and even beetles play a big role in helping plants grow and this program will share how you and your family can help them in return. In this fun and educational program, we’ll learn how pollinators support our gardens and wild spaces, and why native plants are so important for their survival.
We’ll learn about pollinators and some of the plants they rely on, a short exploration of the garden plants, then everyone will get a little messy making seed balls (small clay bundles packed with wildflower seeds) that you can toss into your yard or garden to create a pollinator-friendly habitat. It’s hands-on, creative, and a great way for kids and grown-ups to help nature take root!

Pollinator Power Pt. 2: Build a Bee House
2025-07-27 11:00 - 12:30
Advance registration required.

Date: Sunday July 27th

Time: 11:00 am – 12:30 pm

Cost: Age 0-6 $3.50/ Youth 7-17 $7/ Members $12/ Non-members $15

Location: Pavilion

In Part 2 of our pollinator series, we’re buzzing into the world of native bees and the important homes they need to survive. While honeybees get a lot of attention, many of our local pollinators, like mason bees and leafcutter bees are solitary species that don’t live in hives. Instead, they nest in hollow stems, wood tunnels, and other natural nooks.
In this hands-on, family-friendly program, we’ll explore the life cycle and nesting habits of these quiet pollination powerhouses, and why providing habitat is just as important as planting flowers. Then, each family will get to build their own bee house to take home, a perfect way to support pollinators right in your backyard or garden!
Whether or not you joined us for the first session, this program offers a fun and meaningful way to connect science, conservation, and creativity!
