Petals and Pollinators: Wildflower Art & Bee Hotels

With our Petals and Pollinators program, you can celebrate the Nyoongar season of Djilba and the vibrant explosion of wildflowers in WA! 

Explore the beauty of wildflowers through watercolour painting and learn their vital role in supporting pollinators.

In addition to capturing their charm on canvas, you'll get hands-on as you get on the tools to build a cozy bee hotel for local native bees.

• Learn watercolour painting techniques
• Create a stunning wildflower artwork to take home
• Build a DIY bee hotel to provide a cosy home for local native bees
• Discover the fascinating world of pollinators

Tools and materials used under strict guidance include:

• Hand tools: Hand drills, hack saw, screwdrivers and tabletop vice
• Protective equipment: Safety glasses, latex-free gloves, protective aprons and dust masks
• Materials: Plywood, bamboo and PVA wood glue

Join us for a blend of art, nature, and DIY learning while supporting local wildlife. Sign up today and let your creativity and passion for nature bloom and buzz!
