HTML:<p><b>The passion and urgency that inspired WWI and WWII Victory Gardens is needed today to meet another threat to our food supply and our environment—the steep decline of pollinators. <i>The Pollinator Victory Garden</i> offers practical solutions for winning the war against the demise of these essential animals.</b><br /> Pollinators are critical to our food supply and responsible for the pollination of the vast majority of all flowering plants on our planet. Pollinators include not just <b>bees</b>, but many different types of animals, including insects and mammals. <b>Beetles</b>, <b>bats</b>, <b>birds</b>, <b>butterflies</b>, <b>moths</b>, <b>flies</b>, and <b>wasps</b> can be pollinators.<br /> But, <b>many pollinators are in trouble</b>, and the reality is that most of <b>our landscapes have little to offer them</b>. Our residential and commercial landscapes are filled with vast green pollinator deserts, better known as lawns. These monotonous green expanses are ecological wastelands for bees and other pollinators.<br /> With <i>The Pollinator Victory Garden</i>, you can <b>give pollinators a fighting chance</b>. Learn how to <b>transition your landscape into a pollinator haven</b> by creating a habitat that includes pollinator nutrition, larval host plants for butterflies and moths, and areas for egg laying, nesting, sheltering, overwintering, resting, and warming. Find a wealth of information to <b>support pollinators while improving the environment around you</b>:<br /></p> <ul> <li>The importance of pollinators and the specific threats to their survival</li> </ul> <ul> <li>How to provide food for pollinators using native perennials, trees, and shrubs that bloom in succession</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Detailed profiles of the major pollinator types and how to attract and support each one</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Tips for creating and growing a Pollinator Victory Garden, including site assessment, planning, and planting goals</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Project ideas like pollinator islands, enriched landscape edges, revamped foundation plantings, meadowscapes, and other pollinator-friendly lawn alternatives<br /></li> </ul> <p>The time is right for a new gardening movement. Every yard, community garden, rooftop, porch, patio, commercial, and municipal landscape can help to <b>win the war against pollinator decline</b> with <i>The Pollinator Victory Garden</i>.</p>.
