During Week 2 of Oxford Kids Camp, morning activity Art worked on some pieces to add color and excitement to the Pollinator Garden. We talked about the colors and shapes that will attract more native bees, butterflies and hummingbirds to our garden.

Lilli and Rachel paint the inside of and the campers add flowers to our Dale Denning Oxford Dinghy that will become a raised bed in Week 3. We drilled many holes in the bottom of the dinghy to ensure good drainage. It surely won’t float anymore!

Joey and Cash are priming the pickets that will be installed at each end of the raised beds. Rocks will mark the location of our plants and show what they look like when not in bloom!

Galen works on a design she is going to add to the end of the Bee Condo with a wood burning tool. It will help visitors understand what the bee condo is for. Elena, Michael and Alex are collecting reeds to add housing options to our bee condo. Rachel paints a design on a small sail for the Oxford Dinghy!
