Sustainability Saturday: Pollinator Seed Paper! 

Let’s get Artsy in the Garden!  

Join us at our next set of workshops in our new Sustainability Saturday series! 

In our Science World’s gardens, participants will learn about the different kinds of pollinators visiting Science World and then turn old scrap paper into new SEED PAPER that grows a garden!  

During this hands-on workshop, gardeners and upcyclers alike will: 

  • Uncover gardening techniques that are pollinator-friendly and explore the pollinators visiting the garden.  
  • Collect flowers to learn how pollination works and to use for decoration.
  • Learn how paper is made and how we can upcycle old scrap paper into art.
  • Create seed paper featuring pollinator garden seeds of your choosing to take home and plant somewhere to make your own garden!  

This workshop is ideal for budding gardeners 5+. Participants will create and iterate their own seed paper to take home, so please keep in mind that one ticket = one seed paper and one work station.  

Sign up now to secure your spot! We can’t wait to see you there!
