We've been busy little bees...I mean BIRDS!
Last weekend Horticulture Agent Ashley Grubb and Extension Volunteer Samantha Baker held their monthly Children's Nature Program. This month's program was held at the Flora McDonald Gardens at St. Andrew's University here in Laurinburg.
Participants went on a bird watching scavenger hunt down the nature trails, learned how birds use their beaks to eat and made their very own bird feeder to take home.
Next month's program will be on Saturday, July 13th from 9-12am at Hammond Park (715 Park Cr.) and will be a POLLINATOR PARTY!
We will watch pollinators in their natural habitat and take home wildflower seeds to plant in your back yard!
This program is FREE to everyone. We can't wait to see you there!Free to attend - open to all - educational nature-based activities
Note: children must be accompanied by a guardian at all times
