Pollinator Pathway Bothell Songaia Community Garden Songaia Community Garden (Stillaguamish, Duwamish, and other Coast Salish Territory) The Songaia Garden was founded in the late ‘80s and exists now as a learning garden above all else. We strive to create a space where humans can learn to grow food sustainably, care for and regenerate soil health, participate in their surrounding ecosystems, and bolster their personal and community resilience for the times to come. The food produced in the garden and orchards feeds into our community meals program, reducing our impact and our reliance on global food systems. More information about our summer intern program and volunteering can be found at http://www.songaia.com/internships.html . Check out our blog http://www.songaia.com/the-garden-blog to understand the intern experience. The garden includes a large collection of heirloom roses. 22401 39th Ave SE, Bothell, WA 98021 Songaia Native Forest Garden (Stillaguamish, Duwamish, and other Coast Salish Territory) The Songaia Native Forest Garden was planted in 2022 in collaboration with the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS) and local indigenous educators Linzie Crofoot and Tayna Greene. This forest garden consists of plant relatives that are of cultural significance to the Coast Salish peoples. The Miyawaki Method of afforestation was implemented in this space with the support of our local community and UW Bothell students. We are one of the first restoration sites in Washington to incorporate composted human remains into our soils (Rest in peace, Jim). 22401 39th Ave SE, Bothell, WA 98021 Songaia Medicinal Garden (Stillaguamish, Duwamish, and other Coast Salish Territory) The Songaia Medicinal Garden, or “Herbal Gerbil Garden” was founded in 2020, with the intention to create a space of learning and experimentation for growing medicinal plants. Since that time, many medicinal species have been introduced to the garden, many of whom have been made into medicines and teas that support the health of our community. We continue to cultivate our relationship to these plants and our understanding of their properties. Everyone in Washington is welcome to join the Pollinator Pathway NW. We are initially focusing our efforts in the Sammamish Valley region but hope to include all of Washington, other states in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia as we move forward with habitat creation.

Pollinator Pathway Tolland Tolland Pollinator Pathway is a partnership between Tolland Garden Paths and the Tolland Conservation Commission. We are a part of the larger undertaking to create a corridor of adjacent properties—private residences and public spaces—that provide safe habitat for birds, bees, butterflies and other insects. Our goal is to make Tolland one big pollinator pathway with private, commercial and municipal spaces being pesticide free and hosting native plants. Town garden spaces maintained by local groups can add native pollinators. Local landscape companies can as well. Many residents can take the pledge to incorporate native plants into their yards. These efforts can make a huge difference to our pollinator numbers and will help improve the quality of our Town's air, water and soil. We hope that you will join the fun!

Pollinator Pathway Andover Our mission is to promote native plantings and healthy habitats for pollinators throughout our community. Each of us can make a difference, starting right in our own yards. Joining the Andover Pollinator Pathway is easy—you can put your garden on the map by doing the following five things: • Plant native plants, including trees, shrubs, grasses, and flowers. • Reduce the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides in favor of safer alternatives. • Control invasive plants • Reduce lawn size in favor of native plantings • Leave leaves in the landscape in the fall By doing so, we will improve the connections between the many natural spaces in town, creating a robust ecosystem with a greater diversity of native species. We invite your interest and involvement. Please explore the Andover Pollinator Pathway website for planting ideas, techniques that help pollinators survive the winter and thrive, and insight into why “growing organic” can benefit the whole community.

Public Pollinator Gardens Pollinator Pathway Garden at Andover High School 80 Shawsheen Rd, Andover, MA 01810 Welcome to the Pollinator Pathway garden project at Andover High School! This garden was created by interns Isabelle Galgano and Grace Jungmann with mentor Mindy Chave. The project is for Ms. Cutler’s Environmental Sustainability Internship Course. . This garden was installed to create native habitat for pollinators including butterflies, bees, moths, and birds. The interns have built a raised garden bed on the traffic island outside the Collins Center and installed native plants as advised by Walter Kitteridge. The plants were purchased from Walter’s native plant nursery called Oakhaven Sanctuary. The native plants used include Spotted Bee Balm, Wild Bergamot, Purple Coneflower, Mountain Mint, Golden Alexanders, Joe Pye Weed, Goldenrod, Frost Aster, Toothed Flat Topped White Aster, New England Aster, Hellebores, Button Eryngo, and Dwarf Chinkapin Oak. The compost/loam mix was provided free by the town of Andover, and the Andover Garden Club kindly covered the cost of purchase of the raised bed kits, which were sourced from Home Depot. The Garden Club also covered the cost of the plants. The AHS garden is the first public garden to be added to the Andover Pollinator Pathway.
