Plus, you can check out an array of pollinator plants from the Lantrip Elementary Greenhouse, and kiddos can create a paper cup plant starter.

Seasonal samples will also be available from Hive Bee Farm, including local raw unfiltered honey and rye barrel-aged honey in collaboration with William Price Distilling Co.
