School Gardens Project

Bee Nature's Partner . . . Plants and Pollinators

The objectives of the 2009-2011 School Gardens Project, "BeeNature's Partner . . . Plants and Pollinators " are to educate school students by creating native gardens on school grounds.  By using the classroom as the laboratory, this project can engage students and teachers.  In planning for this project, clubs should emphasize using native plants that attract bees, butterflies, hummngbirds and other native pollinators to the garden.

The gardens may be large or small, portable or stationary.  Clubs may also incorporate educational instruction or materials and the sustainability of the gardens.
