Next week (June 19-25) is National Pollinator Week. Bridget has some ideas to help you highlight this notable week to customers. Keys to engaging customers include information about both food and habitat. Pollinators need seasonal nectar, so an emphasis on the flowering diversity of herbaceous and woody plants is helpful. One aspect of habitat might be to show them how to make a shallow bowl to fill with water and add stones on which to rest (like these cool Petoskey stones). While they’ve surpassed their goal of a million registered pollinator gardens, your customers may still be interested in the movement.
