Pollinator Week Event @The Scratching Post!

Stop in to celebrate pollinator week!
Pollinators are Important to Us All
Pollinators are animals like bees, butterflies, beetles, birds and bats that move pollen from male to female parts of flowers.
Flowering plants and their pollinators are responsible for more than 25% of the food we eat, along with some medicines, dyes and fibers.
Pollinated plants also provide food, nesting and shelter for wildlife.
Pollinators are in Danger
Without pollinators, natural ecosystems and agriculture would collapse.
Right now pollinators are dangerously declining in numbers due to many reasons. One of which is loss of the native areas or plants that they need to survive.
You Can Help!
While supplies last, we’ll be giving away catmint seeds, because catmint and catnip are pollinators! Plant them to attract pollinators to your garden and to help support pollinator communities!
Bring Your Questions
We’ll have volunteers from the University of Illinois Extension Office here to answer your pollinator questions, chat with you about bees, gardening questions, and more!
Play Pollinator Related Games
We just so happen to have several board games involving pollinators. Stop in and play them all!
Game passes are $5/person and can be paid when you arrive. Email [email protected] if you’d like to reserve a table!
