Pollinator Gardens Power Our Food

Pollinator gardens do more than look good — they help power our food systems.

Three-fourths of the world’s flowering plants and about 35 percent of the world’s food crops depend on animal pollinators to reproduce. That’s one out of every three bites of food you eat. More than 3,500 species of native bees help increase crop yields.

Some scientists estimate that one out of every three bites of food we eat exists because of animal pollinators like bees, butterflies and moths, birds and bats, and beetles and other insects.

Pollinator gardens help stabilize ecosystems, support local wildlife, and strengthen our food systems (all while making neighborhoods greener and more beautiful).

With your support, we can bring more pollinator gardens to school and neighborhoods in our communities.
