Les Butineries - Celebrating pollinators - Join the celebrations of this very first edition

MONTRÉAL, July 11, 2023 /CNW/ - Espace pour la vie celebrates pollinators over a festive weekend, with free programming designed by the Insectarium team for the whole family. On July 22 and 23, the Insectarium invites you to come and flutter from one activity to another: take part in the planting of a new pollinator garden, listen to the sound of insects and help them pollinate flowers thanks to a participatory sound installation, as well as contributing to research through participatory science!

Throughout the weekend, discover a host of booths where experts share information on topics ranging from Quebec pollinators and their habitats, the monarch butterfly, and the role of honeybees in our environment, to the greening of urban habitats and getting tips and tricks for your garden, as well as finding out about nectar-producing plants and host plants that are vital to pollinators.

In a festive atmosphere, join in fun and engaging activities for the whole family: paper sculpture, themed face painting, chalk drawings on the floor and many more surprises!

When: July 22 to July 23 2023, from 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.
