POLLINATORS will be in focus when a gardening session for children returns next month.

The Little Seedlings Session will take place at Dobbies in Shenstone on 7th June.

The Garden Helpers event will explore the roles bees and bugs play in the ecosystem.

Children will get the chance to plant a pollinators’ perfect pot to take home and display in their gardens.

Nigel Lawton, from Dobbies said:

> “Bugs and bees play a vital role in our ecosystem so it’s very important to attract these garden helpers to our green spaces.  
>  
> “This month’s free workshop will allow kids to expand their knowledge on pollinating plants, such as lavender and rosemary, and take part in a hands-on activity to attract bees and butterflies to their own gardens.  
>  
> “This time of year is perfect for introducing popular summer flowers that are great for attracting pollinators, and our Little Seedlings Club is a great way to get children learning about nature and gardens this summer.”
