The Birds, Bees, and Butterflies Program As every gardener knows, there is a sense of pride in seeing hard work come to fruition and a joy at being able to grow something yourself.It is out of this love and passion the concept for the Birds, Bees, and Butterfly (3-B) Pilot Program started. The 3-B Program teaches participants how to grow and maintain a garden from start to finish, including important aspects like seed starting, composting, companion planting, weeding, watering, and seed saving, as well as nutrition and food preparation. All of this is accomplished through fun, hands-on activities.In our employable skill based stream, our participants in the program learn skills needed to be hired on local farms and fill the work needs of some of our local CSA farms. In the life skills stream, participants will be able to develop greater proficiency needed to help with their own independence. All participants will leave with a sense of pride and community and a connectedness to the earth that supports us all.
