Join Katrina Forstner, Founder and Educator from Buzz and Dig, to learn all about bees! This workshop is suitable for children aged 5 years and up. Bookings are required for participating children only.

This session will introduce families to native bees, pollination and increasing urban biodiversity. This workshop aims to bring joy and wonder to children as they self discover insect biodiversity and urban sustainability on a micro level in the garden. Nurturing a sense of respect and excitement to living creatures whilst learning about the important role bees have to enable us to grow healthy food.

During the workshop you will get to make some bee seed bombs to take home and plant in the garden to attract pollinators to your backyard.
