Pollinators are vital to create and maintain the ecosystems and habitats that many animals rely on for food and shelter. Roughly 75% o the world’s food crops depend at least in part on pollination.

But pollinators are often taken for granted and need more space to thrive.
Providing spaces or the pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and other insects and birds, to thrive allow for the continuing growth of other flowers and plants.
At Greenview we create this space for the pollinators in The Pollinator Garden.
The Pollinator Garden is located behind Project Grow community gardens and near the Edible Garden.
