This year’s Garden Fest was held on May 8 in the Enid A. Haupt Garden and it was a huge success!
Hundreds of people came out to walk through the gardens, enjoy the sunshine, and of course, to see our exhibit about honey bees!
The exhibit with only 2 of the 5 hives visible.
The exhibit with 4 of the 5 hives, the timeline, and the intro and conclusion panel.
The exhibit’s highly interactive elements attracted a lot of attention. People, young and old, wanted to touch the hives, take a photo as a beekeeper, and to share their opinions on our whiteboard.
Visitors read the timeline and look at the hives.
A visitor poses in the photo-op.
Children think about what honey bees help make and then write their answers on a piece of paper.
Overall, Garden Fest was a great day. People had fun and a learned a lot in the process. We look forward to doing it again for Pollinator Week!
