A blooming good time at the courthouse! 🌸 The youth had a great afternoon learning about pollination, pollinators and planting flowers in the courtyard. Thank you to Gadi Krasner at Arenac Conservation District for spending the afternoon with us and educating our youth! Also, thank you to both Red’s Greenhouse and Ryan Stokoszynski for the donation of flowers! Our events would not be possible without the help of our amazing community!
