Led by Pollinator Garden Co-Chair Littany Hollerbach, members are fresh and getting mentally prepared for the weeding of the Pollinator Garden located at Crofton Library. Member Margo Antonelli just couldn't wait and dived right in. Thank you to Littany for organizing the clean-up and to members Nancy Percivall and guest Yuki Adams, Lauren Toomey, Margo Antonelli and Interim President Trish Demers (not pictured) for helping with the clean-up.

The Pollinator Garden is a "stepping stone" on the Anne Arundel County Pollinator Pathway. Pollinator Week is an annual celebration in support of pollinator health that was initiated and is managed by the Pollinator Partnership. This Pollinator Week, the Pollinator Partnership will be emphasizing the connections between climate and pollinators. Pollinators are dying because their food and homes are disappearing, diseases have increased, and rising temperatures and natural disasters are affecting their ability to survive – all of which are related to climate change. At the same time, the conservation of pollinators and their habitats can help combat climate change by supporting healthy ecosystems, air, soil, water, and plants. Combined, these results make planet earth a safer place for us to live. These are big problems and the efforts that are made around North America and globally during Pollinator Week can help provide real solutions for the pollinators we all love.

Proven to be a workhorse in the garden, award-winning 'Goldsturm' is a highly popular choice. This perennial is long-lived and reliably produces masses of rich golden yellow flowers from midsummer through early fall, no matter what the weather is like. FEATURED POLLINATOR PLANT: Peony 'Sarah Bernhardt', Paeonia lactiflora
An all time favorite, award-winner Peony 'Sarah Bernhardt' is outrageously beautiful in bloom! The delightfully fragrant, rose-pink double flowers, with delicately ruffled inner petals ocasionally flecked with raspberry will take your breath away every spring. Attractive to butterflies. |
