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!
