Bugs, Butterflies and Bees – Oh my! Spend four fun-filled days exploring the world of bugs, butterflies and bees in the garden. We’ll build habitats and homes for insects, meet our bees and taste their honey, explore the amazing world of pollination through relay races, unique art projects and interactive gardening games.

Spend four creative days painting with vegetables, creating natural dyes and making candles from wax from the bee hives. We’ll also write poetry, dance, make musical instruments and sing in the garden. We’ll explore the world of the garden through paints, pencils and photography. No camera required, we’ll make our own!

Enjoy the fruits of the harvest this week! We’ll cook using the power of the sun, explore the five senses through tasting in the garden, harvest food from the ¡Cultiva!
