We have started three pollinator gardens in Scottsdale, AZ: (1) Pima Elementary School (2) Mohave Middle School and (3) Scottsdale Community Garden Club as well as enhanced two existing pollinator habitats at the Salt River Pima Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC) with the funding. We did our initial plantings this Spring and now we are gearing up to do our larger Fall plantings. We had several dozen people involved in the planting efforts including students from Scottsdale Unified School District and Scottsdale Community College, SRPMIC community members, and volunteers. We have also funded student-designed signage for the project that will identify each of the gardens at part of the Maricopa Pollinator Pathway. We have several other schools that want to work with us next, and we are also planning to collaborate with teachers on integrating native plant/pollinator activities into their curricula.
What pollinator plants can I plant now in late September and October?
