Open House at Tule Ponds at Tyson Lagoon was exciting as birds and insects did their magic on the newly flowering plants.  Although it rained in the morning the afternoon turned out to be a special day for the over 300 people that showed up to learn about how pollination works and how you can design a pollinator garden.    Participants explored in depth the various insects and their life cycles found in wetlands.  They also discovered the nectar plants that entice pollinators to find food.  See what different life cycles can be found, and go on an insect scavenger hunt.  Drs. Karen Anderson and Joyce Blueford lead 5 tours throughout the day to have a special close up look at the pollinators as children looked for pollinators and pollinator plants.
