Let's celebrate native pollinators this Pollinator Week! Chat with our Beal Scholar, August, to learn about our native Michigan pollinators and what you can do at home to help. 🐝🦋🪰
The weather is not being kind to our programs lately. 🙁
The storm is predicted to hit during our program, so unfortunately, we'll have to cancel Amazing Adaptations today. We hope you can can catch another of our tours soon.
Move in the Garden will also likely be moved indoors, so if you're attending that program, please go to the Main Library, Beal instruction room, 3rd floor West.

🐝 Tiny workers. Huge impact.
Pollinators help support ecosystems, biodiversity, and many of the foods on our plates. To celebrate Pollinator Week, our Beal Scholar August dug into the fascinating relationship between pollinators and global agriculture.
Give the reel a watch - you might never look at your lunch the same way again. 🥦🍎🌎
Stay tuned for more of August's reelse this week!

You won't want to miss this exciting evening event!
On Saturday, June 20 at 9:30pm (yes, you read that right) we'll be doing some blacklighting in the garden to explore the world of night pollinators with Michigan State University Bug House, MSU Department of Entomology, and Jan Tichy, who's "Darkness" exhibit is on display now at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at MSU.
See the garden after dark. You may wish to bring a water bottle, mosquito repellant, and a small flashlight. 🔦
