H. Xylocopa sp. Carpenter bee.
As we begin to thaw out from winter temps and the early spring blooms start to peek out from the ground, many of us are eager to plan and prepare for gardening season.
GPB has you covered and is excited to participate in the 2022 Atlanta Science Festival in partnership with UGA Extension, Georgia Association of Conservation Districts, Monarchs Across Georgia and the City of College Park for a free day of learning and exploring Georgia’s many pollinators.
Echinacea purpurea, Purple coneflower.
Georgia Pollinators Field Day (9 AM - 12 PM)
Bring the family out for a morning of fun field day games and hands-on activities exploring insect parts, learning about pollinator plant preferences, and even creating a pollinator bracket covering lesser-known pollinators to see which come out on top!
Gardening for Pollinators and Community Science in Georgia (1 PM - 4 PM)
Learn about why we need pollinators for the food we like to eat, how to plant for pollinators in small spaces using the UGA Botanical Gardens Pollinator Plants of the Year, gardening for monarchs and monarch migration, and the Great Georgia Pollinator Census through a series of presentations and demonstrations.
Take home a free plant and seed packet to get your own pollinator garden started when you join us on Saturday, March 19. E. Bombus sp. Bumble bee.
