Celebrate National Pollinator Week by learning all about our local pollinators, the plants that they like to visit, what they do for people and the environment, and how to support them! Campers will enjoy adventuring through the many pollinator-friendly areas found in the Garden. Margaret Lawrence Simon Dogwood Meadow is filled with pollinator favorites, as well as the apiary with several active European honeybee hives. Hillside Pollinator Garden is packed with native plants and allows for an up-close look at pollinators in action. This camp also includes time for pollinator themed arts and crafts and free play in the Garden.
Participants should bring a lunch, snack and water bottle.
