Children around Australia have started a revolution! From the coast of WA to Canberra they’ve been discovering nature in their schools and neighbourhoods, planting to attract bees, birds and butterflies, and building insect hotels. Join Dr Judy Friedlander (The Bee Squad) to learn how to design a garden that will attract birds, butterflies and other pollinators to your backyard or balcony. This will be a fun, interactive and colourful activity to help you make a difference in your neighbourhood with plantings, habitats and more. Get started on creating an exciting home for the tiny animals around you!
