Invite pollinators to your neighborhood by planting a pollinator friendly habitat in your garden, farm, school, park or just about anywhere!
The Idea
Pollinator Partnership helps people protect pollinators to ensure healthy ecosystems and food security. The Pollinator Partnership’s mission is to promote the health of pollinators, critical to food and ecosystems, through conservation, education, and research. Their signature initiatives include the NAPPC (North American Pollinator Protection Campaign), National Pollinator Week, and the Ecoregional Planting Guides, which this page will help you to get started with in your community.
The ecoregional planting guides, Selecting Plants for Pollinators, are tailored to specific areas of the United States and Canada. You can find out which ecoregion you live in simply by entering your zip code / postal code at http://pollinator.org/guides and get your free guide tailored to the pollinators in your region. You can find lists of plant names that will attract pollinators and help you build a beautiful pollinator habitat! Print these lists and bring them to your local native plant, garden center or nursery and then get a group together and get planting!

The first planter box has been filled! It was based on Renae's design with plants available from my yard (lantana and cilantro) and a few from the nursery that brought out the colors. The canna lily will be added as the smaller flowers stop blooming.
