Creating a pollinator friendly certified garden.
Native plants are critical to supporting local pollinators. Connie Schmotzer and her team at the Penn State Extension Office have created a program to certify pollinator friendly gardens.
Planting Natives For Pollinators
You’ve likely heard about the importance of incorporating native plants into your yard to help pollinators. Pennsylvania is one of the few states that encourages residents to plant natives through offering a pollinator garden certification program. Connie and I discussed the program details, what to consider when planting native plants and her love of nature and the outdoors.
