Kanaka Education and Environmental Partnership Society is hosting an open house on the importance of pollination.
'How the mighty have pollen' will address how pollination works, how pollinators are rewarded, and what species are the pollinators.
Participants will be able to check out the pollinator garden and learn how to encourage pollinators in their own gardens, including how to provide homes for mason bees.
