Hummingbird at the Garden

What attracts hummingbirds to some gardens? Why do deer eat some plants but not all? Investigate how plants attract some animals and repel others as we learn about the amazing plant and animal interactions happening all around us. We will touch on pollination, seed dispersal, defenses against hungry herbivores, and other ways plants and animals are interdependent and responsive to each other. Take home some plants that will bring these concepts alive in your home, schoolyard, and community.
