Happy New Year! If you are wondering how you can help pollinators in 2020, we've got the perfect list of New Year’s Resolutions for you!

My 2020 New Year's Resolutions for Pollinators:

1) I will plant native flowers, grasses, shrubs and trees in my garden.

2) I will promote the use of native plants to other gardeners in my area, and collect native seed from my garden to share with neighbors.

3) I will leave leaf litter, stems, twigs and logs in my garden for nesting bees and for butterflies to lay their eggs and overwinter.

4) I will provide food for pollinators all year by having spring, summer, and fall blooming plants in my garden and yard.

5) I will make environmentally-friendly decisions to reduce my carbon footprint in order to help improve pollinator health and habitat quality.

6) I will write to local, state or federal authorities to express my support for pollinator-friendly practices and initiatives.

7) I will support pollinator-friendly farmers by buying local organic or low-spray produce.

8) I will support my local beekeepers by buying local bee products like raw honey.

9) I will volunteer with a group of friends to plant a pollinator garden in my community, and take part in local citizen science initiatives.

10) I will continue supporting pollinator conservation organizations through my donations.

Our lawns framed with boxwood are an invention of the 18th century English upper class. Today, the maintenance with gasoline engines and toxins, and the lack of biodiversity in these landscapes, are hurting our climate and our environment. More natural and sustainable landscapes are easy and beautiful. Let's make natural and healthy yards the new fashion! www.healthyyards.org
