family experience

The Family Pollinator Garden Starter Kit is designed as a weekend long (or two day) get-your-hands-dirty kind of experience for the whole family to enjoy!

Children will become Citizen Scientists and learn about the magical world of pollinators and pollinator plants, and Ecosystem Cartographers to discover, hands-on, the best place to plant their 2- new plant friends’ forever home in your yard. Don’t worry, we support learners of all ages with step-by-step videos to learn how to care for your plants.

Because children will be digging holes and watering plants, we recommend this series as a family activity.
