Pollinator Paradise

 This is a short video of a pollinator garden in the Hornady Family Arbor.  Stuhr Museum closes on Labor Day every year, so visitors don't usually get to see this Monarch Migration.  There are a few more garden areas that provide for bees and butterflies, too.  This video was done on September 27, 2020.
