Plant a pollinator garden for National Wildflower Week
Summary
The document encourages individuals to plant pollinator gardens using native, organic wildflowers to support bees, butterflies, and birds, which produce nearly one-third of the world's food. It provides a step-by-step guide on selecting regional seeds, preparing soil, planting, and watering. Additionally, it highlights a collaboration between WWF and Air Wick to reseed 1 billion square feet of habitat in the Northern Great Plains, including a social media campaign running until June 1, 2022, to plant additional wildflowers.
Key insights
- Pollinators, including birds, butterflies, and bees, are essential to the global ecosystem and are responsible for producing nearly one-third of the food supply worldwide.
- To effectively support local biodiversity and attract pollinators, gardeners should use organic, sustainably sourced wildflower seeds that are native to their specific region.
- WWF and Air Wick are partnering to restore the Northern Great Plains ecosystem by reseeding 1 billion square feet of native grassland and wildflower habitat.
- A promotional campaign active until June 1, 2022, pledges that WWF and Air Wick will plant one additional square foot of wildflowers in the Northern Great Plains for every wildflower-related post shared on social media using the hashtag #SquareFootSuperBloom.
