Help hungry pollinators
3/29/2023
Bees, butterflies and other pollinators are out working -- and you probably are, too. We understand you're anxious to get your yard back in order after the winter. But remember that wildflowers (also known as weeds) are the primary source of food for pollinators right now. So until more plants are blooming, please be sure to leave those wildflowers alone: don't mow them down or spray them. We depend on pollinators to help with our food sources, and right now, they depend on us for theirs!
