Million Pollinator Garden Challenge

national pollinator week 2015

The Million Pollinator Garden Challenge (MPGC) is a nationwide call to action to preserve and create gardens and landscapes that help revive the health of bees, butterflies, birds, bats and other pollinators across America. We will move millions of individuals, kids and families outdoors and make a connection between pollinators and the healthy food people eat.

 

Pollinators Gardens Should

  1. use plants that provide nectar and pollen sources

  2. provide a water source

  3. be situated in sunny areas with wind breaks

  4. create large “pollinator targets” of native or non-invasive plants

  5. establish continuous bloom throughout the growing season

  6. eliminate or minimize the impact of pesticides
