Our third and last garden install for the Spring is at Smith Elementary. Their Pollinator Pals group picked out all the plants and the location, designed their own t-shirts and painted all the rocks to make a border for the garden. Kids who love pollinators become adults who love pollinators!

We’d like to give a special shoutout to our VP and Education chair for creating this program for the kids at Smith. Finally, we’d also like to thank for the grant so we could make all these gardens happen this year.

Spiderwort is one of those native plants that rewards you when you slow down and take a closer look.

Its blue-purple flowers open each morning to welcome pollinators and then close again later in the day. While we often notice the larger bees and butterflies, many pollinators are much smaller. These tiny visitors can fit comfortably inside a single Spiderwort bloom as they gather pollen and nectar.

Pollinators come in all sizes, and every one of them plays a role in keeping our ecosystems healthy. Take a close look at these flowers and see who you can spot visiting.

Have you ever noticed the tiny pollinators in your garden?

Roughly a third of all the food we consume depends on pollinators. In partnership with The Simple Kitchen , kiddos and adults got to learn all about that while making delicious apple crisp. Yummy and fun!! Kids who learn about pollinators become adults who care for pollinators.

Many thanks to The Simple Kitchen for hosting the event, to Plymouth Arts and Rec Complex for providing the venue and to Lindsay our Education Chair for presenting.

Quick reminder about book club this week! Since the weather is getting warmer, we thought we'd move outdoors this time. We'll meet at Lions' Club Park located at Burroughs Street in Plymouth, MI 48170.

The book we will be discussing is The Backyard Bird Chronicles by Amy Tan. You will need to acquire the book prior to our book club meeting on Wednesday, June 10th. You can purchase the book via Elephant Ear Books bookstore in Plymouth or you can check it out at the Plymouth District Library, use the Libby app or Spotify. You can also find the book on Amazon. We recommend purchasing or borrowing the book since close to half the book contains beautiful illustrations by the author.

Registration is required so we can ensure we have enough space at the park. Please click here to register:

Here is a quick excerpt about the book:
A detailed journal chronicling backyard bird observations in Sausalito, featuring personal sketches, daily notes, and insights about survival and adaptation in the local avian ecosystem. It fulfills a deep and instinctive urge to plug into the rhythms of what is happening around us. It makes us part of something larger and gives us a sense of our place on earth. It's a New York Times Bestseller, 4.6 stars on Amazon and 4.0 stars on Goodreads.
