Celebrate pollinator week with AADL and Bee Present Honey! Local Beekeepers Owen and Rebecca Wittekindt will offer games, activities, and crafts to teach you about bees and what beekeepers do. Plus, we'll have the chance to see real bees in an observation hive!

Drop off extra seeds that you have harvested from your garden or just pick up something you would like to grow. Flowers, vegetables, herbs, and bulbs are welcome. You do not need to drop seeds off to take some home.

This event is in partnership with the Ypsilanti District Library, the Washtenaw Community College Bailey Library, and the Matthaei Botanical Gardens.

Ring-necked Pheasants, typically known as a rural farmland species, are thriving in the open spaces of Detroit. A little human-pheasant subculture has developed in the city—pheasants are neighbors to human residents and muses to local artists—and pheasants have become the unofficial city bird of Detroit! Join everyday Detroiters in a walk around the city as we celebrate these funky birds at home in their urban element. _This event features a Q&A with co-director Diane Cheklich._

This event requires a cloudless night sky! Due to the current forecast, we've determined that this event will not take place on Tuesday and are holding this on Wednesday.
