Bees, butterflies, birds and bats are essential players in our gardens, farms and wild areas. They are the pollinators that help produce fruit, vegetables and flowers. It is estimated that one out of every three bites humans eat can be attributed to a pollinator. Come and celebrate these amazing creatures. Learn about how pollinator populations are declining globally and what you can do in your garden to make a significant ecological difference by providing them with nesting and foraging habitat.
