Share the Great Sunflower Project with your community


Plan a Sunflower Event that gets people involved:


It’s time to turn off your television, take off those earphones, shut down that computer, go outside, and rediscover the wonder of nature. That’s one goal of the Great Sunflower Project. "We need to know where are bees are doing well and how parks, gardens, natural areas and all sorts of habitats effect our bees” says Dr. Gretchen LeBuhn, the Sunflower Project’s Queen Bee. “Once we identify where bees need help, we can start improving their habitats!”


To get as many groups of individuals in your community to participate in The Great Sunflower Project, share our project with other gardeners, nature centers, other kids, and anyone who would like to stop and learn a bit more about our helpful friends.
