Pollinator Science at the Library – Wednesday July 16th
Calling all nature lovers! 4-H is partnering with the library to provide a fun day of learning about pollinators. We love our bug friends that provide us so many services that we do not even think about: environmental clean up, helping us garden, flower maintenance and more. We will play games, plant a pollinator garden to take home and learn about friends to look for out for in our yards.
