Why pollinator gardens? Gardens with native plants can be both beautiful and functional at sustaining our pollinators. Our environment is at risk because of precipitous declines in native plants and the insects, birds, and other animals that depend on those plants. Check out the Newton Pollinator Toolkit to find out recommended plants for different conditions in Newton! If you are inspired by the tour, you will be able to buy many of your favorite native plants through a Native Plant Pop-up Sale at the Cold Spring Park Farmers Market, Tuesday, June 17, 1:30 – 6:30, from a number of responsible native plant vendors.
The tour is being organized by the Newton Community Pollinator Project in conjunction with a number of other local organizations.
