The Pollination Project is an idea that sprang forth from recent mass bee deaths due to pesticides (primarily neonicotinoids) in the Portland Oregon Metro Area. While phone calls were made, petitions signed, emails sent, I was inspired to take on the concept of a seed exchange to encourage the local community to provide sweet nectar for our pollinators. The simple joy of having a garden is a rewarding meditation and is inviting healthier fodder for the birds and the bees.
