Pollinator Gardening for Kids

Courses: Youth / Culinary -

Summer 2026

Did you know that bees need baths and that the monarch butterfly is in trouble because of disappearing milkweed patches? Our pollinators, such as bees, butterflies and bats are suffering because of chemicals and the lack of native plants. We NEED the pollinators so that we can have all the fruit and veggies that we love to eat. This class will talk about why we need pollinators, how to make places in your yard to encourage them to live with you as as well as make a pollinator garden to take home
