🌿Plant for Pollinators
Every flower can make a difference.
Plant one native flower, herb, or pollinator-friendly plant this week.
Together, small gardens become connected habitats that help bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, moths, and other important pollinators thrive.
❤️ Tiny Action
Plant for Pollinators
Spend 10–15 minutes:
Choose one native or pollinator-friendly plant.
Plant it in a garden bed, container, or community space.
Water it and help it get established.
Every bloom adds to a healthier habitat.
🌎 Why It Matters
Pollinators help many flowering plants reproduce and support healthy ecosystems.
By planting flowers that provide nectar and pollen, we create food and shelter for wildlife while adding beauty to our neighborhoods.
Native plants are especially valuable because they have evolved alongside local pollinators and provide the resources they need throughout the seasons.

Already have pollinator plants?
Try:
Add another native species that blooms in a different season.
Leave a shallow dish of water with small stones for insects.
Avoid pesticides around flowering plants.
Invite a neighbor to plant something too.
🌱 Nature Connection
Every flower becomes part of a living network.
When we plant for pollinators, we care not only for bees and butterflies, but also for birds, gardens, farms, forests, and ourselves.
Healthy habitats begin with small acts of care.
