Our Mission

When people are passionate about something, that’s when we really see change.

The best way to reverse what is happening is to start small

If we can plant even just a few more gardens, then we will be saving a significant number of pollinators. Pollinator gardens are beautiful to look at, exciting to learn about, and mesmerizing to watch, as they attract a variety of species.

You can make a difference.

Why we started the Pollinator PowerWorks

In the past decade, we have been losing 16% of all pollinators per year. This is due to habitat loss caused by factors such as pesticides, mining, and development. A world without pollinators certainly couldn’t sustain seven billion people, which is why we need to act now to save our food supply and the health of our ecosystem. When people are passionate about something, that’s when we really see change.

Our values

Get plants in the ground

We spend our energy getting plants in the ground. Planting pollinator gardens and meadows is a great way to see tangible progress in improving the environment. We believe we can make a better planet and a brighter future by working in our own back yards.
