How You Can Support Pollinators in Spring, Summer, and Beyond

How do we keep the Garden so green and vibrant? Ithaca Children’s Garden (ICG) owes a big thank you to Jason, volunteers, and, of course, our resident pollinators.

With Pollinator Week approaching (June 17 to 23, 2024) and the Garden in full bloom, it’s the perfect time to appreciate these hardworking creatures. Did you know that pollinators help produce up to 75% of the food we eat?

To celebrate, we’re shining a spotlight on special activities that teach you how to protect our pollinators. You’ll even get to make seed bombs, a fun and easy way to support these vital insects at home.

Not ready to tackle the seed bomb activity on your own? No worries! Join us at ICG’s International Mud Day on June 29, 2024, where our team members will guide you through the process.

You can view, download, and print your copy of the activities below. You’ll discover not only bees but also two other important pollinators.
