How Important Are Pollinators to Your Greenhouse Business?

Posted by Brian Sparks|November 22, 2018

The National Pollinator Garden Network (NPGN), a collaboration of conservation, garden trade, and civic groups, is close to finalizing the goals of the Million Pollinator Garden Challenge. Co-founders of the Challenge include AmericanHort, National Garden Association, National Gardening Bureau, National Wildlife Federation, Pollinator Partnership, and American Public Gardens Association.

The NPGN is developing a report that will be released in early 2019 that shows how the public and the garden industry have responded to the plight of pollinators and monarchs.

NPGN is seeking input from across the industry for this report. To report your experiences with pollinators, click here to complete a short survey.

Any horticultural business or site with pollinator-friendly plant materials and/or demonstration gardens can be counted as part of the challenge. Growers are already participating in the Challenge can also recruit others with print-on-demand materials.
