You can change the world...
one flower at a time!
Join the movement to plant a pollinator refuge garden in your own backyard!
It's an easy, fun, and beautiful way to help save the bees!
Plant. Grow.

Look up what flowers are native to your area. Zinnias & Sunflowers are a good annual to start with in the North East.

Find a sunny spot in your yard that you can dedicate to growing a refuge garden for the bees.
This area can not be sprayed or near grass that is treated with chemicals.
