My Project

Bees and butterflies love blossoms of all kinds! And so do we! This project will provide my students with the seeds for planting blossoms of all kinds and books to learn all they need to learn about pollinator gardens.

We already have a butterfly garden, but want to expand into having pocket pollinator gardens all over campus.

My students will also be taking what they learn to the middle school and elementary school down the road to teach them about pollinators and their importance to life on earth. Without bees and butterflies and moths to pollinate our food, humans will cease to exist. These supplies will help to create beautiful gardens for everyone to enjoy.
