National Pollinator Week. June 20-26, 2016

We almost missed national Pollinator Week!

I did not even know that there even is a national pollinator week.  I am glad there is one and there should be one.
Pollinators deserve all the recognition they can get.

Considering how important pollinators are to our ecosystems a week doesn't seem long enough. We need more time to get the message out there that pollinators are life giving and have the power to sustain the ecosystems they inhabit.

I am working to make my garden and every garden I am involved in a pollinator safe zone and a pollinator friendly zone. I avoid big showy flowers with no food value and choose the more natural ones that provide food for the pollinators.
