Buzz & Bloom: A Kids’ Pollinator Adventure

Explore the beautiful Lyndhurst landscape through the eyes of pollinators on this kid-friendly discovery tour led by our horticulturalist. The expedition begins at the Welcome Center and ends at the Overlook, former site of Helen Gould’s treehouse, where a colorful native garden awaits. Stand upon the new viewing platform and take in the view through the eyes of a bird. Learn why bumblebees are so fluffy and what insects are good for your garden. The discovery portion of the program will be followed by a hands-on gardening activity in the landscape. Families and young visitors will learn how to make a Native Seed Ball. Dress comfortably and be prepared to get your hands dirty!
