Celebrating National Pollinator Week! 

National Pollinator Week is June 17 – 23, 2019. It’s a great time to remind ourselves how important pollinators are to the foods we enjoy on our table every day.  As many native plant habitats are shrinking or disappearing altogether, supporting pollinators in our home gardens becomes even more important. There are some great sites for gathering information on pollinators & how to support them. There are a few links below to get you started.
