STILL ABUZZ ABOUT POLLENEIGHBORS

Asclepias curassavica (Tropical Milkweed)

If you didn’t get a chance last year, there is still time to see the popular Meet Your Polleneighbors exhibit at the Garden. Even more exciting is this year, it has burst out of the Children’s Garden and expanded into a garden-wide homage to pollinators. So even if you’ve already visited, come back and learn more about how to be a good neighbor to our native, migrating, and adapted pollinator friends.

The new content provides more information to inform your personal landscape choices. Want to know specifics on how to share and provide better habitat? Head to the Wildflower Meadow to learn about how we can help native pollinators survive our cold winters. Visit the Herb and Rose Gardens if you are interested in learning how plants rich in fragrance, nectar, and pollen attract and motivate pollinators.. Learn about the pressure of European honeybees to our native pollinators as well as their many useful agricultural products in the Medicinal Garden. In the Courtyard, we will be raising and releasing native and migrating butterflies with the help of our friends at raisingbutterflies.org.
