”I Can Do This Too,” UNCP’s Kids in the Garden Program

In a sunny spot on the north side of UNC Pembroke’s campus, visitors to the Campus Garden and Apiary are greeted by an array of colorful plants and a wide variety of bees, butterflies, and bugs. This garden is home to the Kids in the Garden program, a creative hub for students, faculty, and community members who meet to learn, and share research and scholarship. Join us as we welcome our guests from the Departments of Biology and Geography & Geology, pollen-studying palynologist Dr. Martin Farley, insect expert entomologist Dr. Kaitlin Campbell, and science educator and program director Dr. Rita Hagevik, who chat about their work. UNCP’s Campus Garden and Apiary is a valuable campus resource sharing the love of garden plants and insect life with students on campus, and across the community.

Follow them on Facebook to see this great work in action, and keep up to date about events and activities happening in the garden.
