June 17th-23rd is Pollinator Week, but we are celebrating pollinators all month long in June! Now is a great time to create a pollinator-friendly yard or garden by planting with purpose.
This year, we’re focusing on making a bigger impact for pollinators by practicing intentional solitary bee housing and reducing lawn pesticide use. Learn more about these topics in our upcoming blogs!
