On Saturday 15 November our club supported Rotarians for Bees celebration of Pollinator Week through our stall at the Farmers Market run by the Rotary Club of Glenferrie at Paterson Reserve in Auburn.
Around 800 people during the morning and many parents, children and dogs stopped to learn about the importance of bees and pollination. We had many child friendly activities including a jigsaw puzzle and the apple tree pollinated by many bee costumed children who were then rewarded with a slice of apple to demonstrate the pollination and habitat story.
As always the very colourful Judy Parslow was a huge attraction and, together with Liz McCaskill, worked tirelessly to get our message across about bees and how we can help them. We were very grateful for the support and assistance of club members, particularly David Chivers, Steve Clark , Elizabeth (and Jonathon) and Jill. It was a wonderful morning and another great showcase for our Canterbury club and our environment programs.
Thanks again everyone.
