Bee-friendly Gardens

Presented by Urban Bee Education

There's a buzz about bees and this all-ages workshop is no exception. Come and learn about the diversity of native bees, their critical role as pollinators and their habitat needs. You'll come away with knowledge and simple strategies to support bees in your backyard.

Participants will have the opportunity to make mini bee hotels and seed balls to take home.
