Penn State Extension - Northampton County

Create a pollinator puddling station activity 🦋

Some butterflies and other pollinators visit damp soil, sand, or shallow water sources to gather moisture and minerals. This behavior is called puddling — and it’s a fun way to teach children that pollinator habitat is about more than flowers alone.
Join the Penn State Extension Master Gardeners for a free children’s activity during our Certified Pollinator Habitat event at Louise W. Moore Park. Children will create a simple pollinator puddling station and learn how small habitat features can help support pollinators.
This activity is designed for children. No registration required. First come basis while supplies last.

Look at the choices! Each kit contains plant plugs carefully selected from species grown by Kind Earth Grower using locally collected, open-source pollinated seeds and 50% peat-free growing media. Smaller than typical nursery plants, these plugs are easy to transport and install within existing vegetation. The plugs have healthy root systems that will establish this fall, so plants can flourish next growing season.
