EDWARDSVILLE - Pollinators like bees, butterflies, and moths help put fruits and vegetables on our plates and keep Earth’s ecosystem running. In fact, one out of every three bites of food we eat comes courtesy of our winged farmers. So, in honor of everything pollinators do for us, Edwardsville Children’s Museum (ECM) has planned a day to celebrate them! On Saturday, Oct. 15, 2022, families are invited for a free day of fun at ECM during its Pollinator “Bee-Cause It Matters” Party sponsored by the City of Edwardsville. The Museum will be open from 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. with a variety of pollinator-themed activities available from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Kids of all ages and their caretakers can learn about insects, honey, and pollination in the ECM Discovery Garden as well as enjoy stories read every half hour by special guest, The Very Hungry Caterpillar. Children will also receive a free seed pack to start their own pollinator gardens at home. “Pollinators
