Pollinator Fest

How does your garden grow? In many cases, it’s with help from pollinators such as bees, butterflies and bats. These helpful species are at the center of Pollinator Fest, a family-friendly affair where green thumbs can get their hands dirty building bat houses, making seed bombs and learning to start a pollinator garden. Sierra Club member Judy Bellairs leads a discussion about legislative initiatives to protect these winged wonders, and the Jeudevine Music School’s Honeybee Steelband provide the soundtrack. Honey, craft liquor and cocktail tastings from Caledonia Spirits and a merchandise area featuring everything from organic seeds to beeswax beauty products top off this buzzworthy bash.
