‘How Does Your Garden Grow?: Celebrating Pollinators’

The Bronx Zoo houses plenty of large animals, but this weekend it’s putting a special spotlight on some small ones: bees. As part of “How Does Your Garden Grow?,” a new display on the lawn outside the Butterfly Garden, the zoo will host “Pollinatorpalooza,” in which children will dress up as bees (and butterflies and hummingbirds) and learn the importance of these creatures in nature and farming. Part of a continuing program sponsored with the FarmOn! Foundation, an organization devoted to educating young people on healthy food choices, the event will include a game to act out the life cycle of a bee.
