Edge Of The Woods Native Plant Nursery, LLC

Specializing in plants native to mid-Atlantic ecosystem

June 10, 2022

Pollinator Week June 20 to 25!

Pollinators need you. You need pollinators.

Birds, bats, bees, butterflies, beetles, and other small mammals pollinate plants.  This creates much of the food we eat!  At the same time, they sustain our ecosystems.  How? By helping plants reproduce.

Pollinators carry pollen from plant to plant.  This enables plants to create seeds, berries, nuts, and more. Essentially — to reproduce.  In addition to creating fruits, vegetables, nuts and ½ of the world’s oils, fibers and raw materials, plants prevent soil erosion and increase carbon sequestration!

This nearly invisible ecosystem service needs our attention and support. Learn more about pollination here:  https://www.pollinator.org/pollinators.

We’d like to help you help the pollinators!

We can help you get your garden certified as “Pollinator Friendly” by the Penn State Extension Program.  (Pennsylvania residents only).   More details on the certification are located here.

Join us for a short orientation talk for getting your pollinator garden certified

We will have the literature and requirements available to help you select pollinator plants.

Thursday  June 23 10 AM and 2 PM

Friday  June 24 10 AM and 2 PM

Saturday  June 25  10 AM and 2 PM
