At our March 12th meeting, Carol Alper, of Cape Cod Pollinator Pathways, discussed the what, why and how to create welcoming pathways for pollinators of all types in our town and in our personal landscapes.
Carol described suitable plants for both sunny and shady path, and pollinators to give colour in Spring and Summer and Fall.
She shared a lot of very useful websites to search for more information:
