Turn your patch of earth into a pollinator pocket.
A pollinator pocket is any small space — a yard corner, a few pots on a porch — replanted to feed and shelter the bees, butterflies, and birds that keep our neighborhood alive.
Plant natives
Native plants are the foundation of a pollinator pocket. Find free seeds, where to buy established plants, and how to keep learning.

Lots of little pockets add up to a corridor.
Pollinators don't need a single big preserve so much as a network of stepping stones across the city. When enough neighbors each tend a small, pesticide-free patch of native plants, those patches connect into a living corridor that bees and butterflies can travel — block by block, yard by yard.
You don't need acreage, a green thumb, or a big budget to take part. You just need a pocket.
