What is a Pollinator Garden?

  • A garden planted with flowers that predominantly provide nectar/pollen for a range of pollinating insects
  • It can be any size - from a balcony with potted plants to a backyard to an acre!
  • Visit the pollinator garden planted in Elm Grove Park last May

Why are Pollinator Gardens Important?

  • Pollinators are responsible for 1 out of every 3 bites of food we take each day
  • Pollinators include bees, butterflies, birds, and more
  • They are at a critical point in their own survival
  • Increasing the number of flowering plants that provide nectar/pollen will help both their health and numbers
