We did it!!! Over 150 pollinator plants are spreading their roots on the campus of Mt. Everett High School!!! The Great Barrington Rotary and the Interact students from Mt. Everett worked hard on Saturday, May 20th to plant the garden as part of the annual "Rotary Day of Service".
The garden covers 600 square feet and includes various native plant species and 150 plants.
Pollinators are an incredibly important component of a healthy, resilient landscape which have become increasingly threatened and imperiled by increases in habitat loss, pesticide use, and complications related to the changing climate.
