Ohio Pollinator Garden Networking

Small gardens planted with native species act as stepping stones that enable pollinators to move between larger natural areas and agricultural fields.

Plant Diversity And Bloom Continuity

Selecting species with staggered bloom times ensures continuous nectar and pollen resources from spring through fall.

Nesting Resources And Habitat Structure

Providing bare ground woody stems and plant litter supports nesting for ground and cavity nesting bees and other pollinators.

Community Coordination And Mapping

Coordinated planting efforts and mapping of garden locations maximize network effectiveness and inform stewardship.

Education And Citizen Science

Community monitoring and educational programs engage residents and provide data to support pollinator conservation across urban and rural areas.
