We collaborated with Sarah Bergmann, inventor of the Pollinator Pathway, to create a unique table setting in Seattle’s Olympic Sculpture Park. Seated along a “garden path,” diners tied screen-printed bee stripes around their necks, donned bug glasses, and enjoyed the buzz. Along the way they learned a little about the critical role that pollinators play in every meal we eat.
