Follow the Pollen Path (2002) De Potter Glazed Ceramic Tiles Sponsored by First National Bank & Trust Company and Zoo Walk 2001
This tile mural, situated at the entrance to the Garden Friends playground, ties into the playground’s theme of beneficial insects in the garden. The “pollen path” is the route taken by honeybees when they fly out from their hive to forage for nectar and pollen. In their search for food, the bees pollinate the blooms that they visit. Orchards, farm crops, our home gardens, and most flowering plants depend upon honeybees and many other insects for pollination.
