Bringing Learning Outdoors, One Meadow at a Time
The BLOOM Station is a welcoming pollinator learning garden and portable educational display being developed by Hearth & Hive Community Society at Bluestone Acres. Visitors will be able to explore the lives of native pollinators, discover the plants and habitats they depend on, and learn simple ways to help them thrive at home and throughout the community.
A Garden Designed for Discovery
Meet Our Native Pollinators
Discover the bees, butterflies, moths and other pollinators that help local plants, gardens and food systems thrive.
Where Do I Live?
Lift the interactive panels to match native pollinators with the nesting places and habitats they need to survive.
Plant for Pollinators

Learning That Travels
Use signs, take-home resources and QR codes to learn at your own pace, while the portable BLOOM Station brings pollinator education into the wider community.
What We’re Building
A portable learning station designed to serve both the garden and the wider community.
