Digging In Together: Planting a Garden for Pollinators

Kick off summer with a kid‑friendly pollinator‑garden workshop!

Celebrate summer by creating your own pollinator garden. This hands‑on workshop is designed with kids in mind and explores why bees, butterflies and other pollinators are essential to a healthy environment. Families will learn simple ways to support local pollinators while having fun in the garden.

Join CCE Putnam 4-H Educator Brandy Keenan, Master Gardener Volunteers, Putnam Pollinator Pathway and Jenna Sadecki of Agriventures Agway for a workshop, "Digging In Together: Planting a Pollinator Garden." This event is geared toward gardening with children and includes a kid-friendly presentation about the importance of pollinators and what to plant to attract them to your garden. There will be a hands-on planting activity and crafts for children of all ages.

While at Tilly Foster Farm, feel free to visit the animals, take a walk in the Restore and Regenerate Forest down by the pond and check out all of the plants and flowers growing in the fields and forest. Maybe you'll spot some pollinators!

Light refreshments will be served.
