Discovery Point #1


Pollinators

In this garden you will find plants that attract a wide variety of pollinators, including bees, flower flies, butterflies and hummingbirds.  These pollinators move pollen from one flower to another of the same species helping plants to produce fertile seeds.




Look closely

You will notice this place is full of life.

Stop and Listen

Notice the many creatures that find food among the flowers
How many do you count?




Observe 

Which colors or shapes attract hummingbirds are they the same for bees and butterflies?
