Subject: June Community Chat: Pollinators!
Happy Pollinator Month! I'm excited to talk about all things pollinators and youth gardening at our next Community Chat on 6/22 at 3PM ET. This is a great Chat for anyone gardening with kids in any setting - homes, schools, community centers, etc - and I know that many of you have some great ideas you can share with the group.
Topics can include pollinator activities, ideas to raise awareness in communities, creating pollinator-friendly spaces in any setting, funding opportunities for pollinator projects, and anything else you'd like to discuss. From those new to gardening to seasoned educators, everyone is welcome!
