Hi everyone! Excited to be a first-time poster in this community! My name is Felicia, I'm 23, and I've spent the past two summer working in urban land management in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Through my experience, I've develop a deep admiration for native plants and ecology.

Living and renting in the city, I do not have a yard but luckily, I have a patio (roughly 3.5'x20'). I'm converting my patio into an urban oasis for pollinators and hoping to inspire and educate others along the way! I've started documenting my journey as "Pollinator Patios" on some social medias and my website: pollinatorpatios.com. My goal is to curate seed mixes that are native only, container-friendly, and beneficial to pollinators. Right now, I'm focusing on plants native to Milwaukee and Wisconsin specifically.

I'd love hear about any experiences you've had with container gardening for pollinators. I think that container gardening in urban areas has potential to expand urban green ways (for the pollinators), mitigate negative climate effects, and improve our well-being as urban residents. I look forward to connecting with you all!

Hey everyone, hope this is ok to post here. My girlfriend is currently doing her dissertation at university on pollinator population initiatives and has a survey she needs filling out by UK people only.

It will only take a few minutes and any input would really help her get the data she needs so please share it around to any UK residents if you want to.

Thank you very much to all those who take the time to fill it out

Hi everyone!

I’m working on a project to create pollinator-friendly seed kits with a focus on supporting endangered plants and pollinators, particularly native species that are vital to our ecosystems. My goal is to provide eco-conscious gardeners with sustainable, region-specific seed kits that make a real impact on the environment.

If you’re a gardener, nature enthusiast, or just someone passionate about pollinators, I’d love for you to fill out this quick survey. It’s only 10–15 questions, and your feedback will help shape the design, contents, and features of these kits.

If you’ve ever tried to garden for pollinators, have an interest in native plants, or want to contribute to conservation efforts, your input is invaluable. Thank you for helping me make a difference for pollinators and the planet!

Feel free to share this post with others who might be interested, and let me know if you have any questions. I’d love to hear from you in the comments!

Mason bee on allysum flowers.

I love having pollinators in my yard and planted flowers of all types in a chaos garden of sorts this year to try and attract them for my small veggie garden. Unfortunately, it appears I managed to attract 5 different nests of yellow jackets with no bumbling bees to be seen. Is there a way I can selectively attract bees and butterflies but deter their aggressive flesh eating cousins? (Hornets, yellow jackets, wasps)

I'm the president of my campus pollinator/environmental club (formally known as "The B Club"). I've got a few ideas for activities and events we can do this spring semester, but I need some more suggestions.

So far I have: Remodel our bee garden, take a day trip to our local arboretum, visit a local farm, go on a group hike, attend/host a floristry workshop, create events for national invasive species awareness week and create an earth day celebration for the end of the semester.

We focused mostly on guest speakers and informative lectures last semester so I'm looking to do some more hands on activities

Any suggestions?

(Edit: forgot to mention that we already keep 3 beehives haha)
