Picardo P-Patch

Come “bee” a citizen scientist for a day and learn more about our fuzzy friend, the bumblebee.

We’ll have:

• identification instructions

• clay models of bumblebee homes

• bumblebee lifecycle information

• a chance for you to try out the iNaturalist app which helps citizen scientists identify plants and pollinators

This event is perfect for families and those just wanting to learn more about bumblebees and other pollinators’ contributions to our garden.

Go to the iNaturalist Picardo Field Day and register if you’d like to try the app (not required to participate).

If you’d rather go analog, we’ll also have identification sheets and experts to answer any questions.

See you there!

Please sign up for one (or more) plots that you can take care of during September. 

Great way for families and friends to work together and get your "Picardo" hours too! 

Kids' time counts!

Plot Responsibilities:

• carefully & deeply water flowers & veggies

• weed the plot

• please weed the path surrounding the plot

• please be sure there is no over hang into the paths

• harvest for yourselves, family, neighbor or donate to the Picardo Sharing Shed

• deadhead (cut off dead blossoms) flowers, this encourages more blooms

Contact John and Sue at johnandsueolson@msn.com with your 1st and 2nd choices.

They’ll get back to you with a schedule.
