National Pollinator Week ( June 17 – 23, 2024)
Every garden matters and can make a difference in our world of threatened ecosystems and loss of biodiversity. The Ewing Green Team created “Wild About Ewing” in 2018, an initiative in pursuit of certifying Ewing gardens with the National Wildlife Federation to support wildlife. Through this program, the Green Team encourages all Ewingites to create gardens that are more than just personal sanctuaries, but also refuges for birds, bees, toads, frogs, and many other small creatures with whom we share this world. Refuges where they can find a home that offers food, water, cover, a place to rear their young. Places that are free of unhealthy chemicals. If you are doing this, you are gardening for wildlife.
During National Pollinator Week we are reminded of the need to provide food and habitat for our threatened pollinators. These include bees, butterflies, beetles, moths, wasps, flies, and even the birds, mammals, amphibians and reptiles that also assist with pollination chores. This need is critical because of the essential role these pollinators play in producing many crops. The sharp decline in their numbers is due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and climate change.
If you too are alarmed about the extent of this crisis, we invite you to join us in being “Wild About Ewing” and gardening for pollinators this week and every week. To learn more, you can contact the Green Team at
