We thank the bees, bats, birds, moths, and butterflies for their work to help flowers reproduce. Use pressed petals that have naturally fallen from plants to create a landing pad for these generous beings. Then, use seeds and dirt to create a living sculpture of a pollinator you would like to honor to take home and plant. Native Pollinators Day event.
