First Annual Pollinator Palooza Native Plant Sale 2022
Native pollinators are facing many threats, including habitat loss, pesticide use, climate change, and disease. Sustainable Saratoga’s Pollinator Committee is working to provide food and safe habitats for native pollinators. Every garden, no matter how small, has an important role to play in protecting pollinators. Planting native plants is an essential part of creating food and habitat for our native pollinators. However, finding native plants can often be a challenge. We are working to overcome that limitation by holding a native plant sale. We hope you will join us!
