AT MONROVIA, we recognize the integral role that pollinators and beneficial insects play in plant and environmental health. We grow thousands of plants that support pollinators, and we work with experts like the Xerces Society to develop and improve our pollinator-friendly growing methods.

Representatives at The Xerces Society and The Nature Conservancy were consulted in the making of this book, and we recommend checking their websites for more detailed information about how we can all be better stewards of the little ecosystem in our backyards.
