Announcing Our Free Pollinator Garden Lottery!

Our Habitat Projects

We have adopted several garden spaces to create high quality habitat for pollinators. Check them out!

Yellow Springs Taproom - Invasive Removal & Pollinator Garden

We have adopted the rain garden and pollinator garden at Yellow Springs Taproom in Columbus. It is located in Clintonville at Indianola Avenue and Crestview Road right in front of their business and along the sidewalk and parking lot. Since fall 2024, we have removed the overgrowth and invasive plants, removed rotten planter boxes, and removed lots of gravel that was in the existing beds - all in preparation for planting. In fall 2025, we will plant native, pollinator-friendly plants, thanks to a grant from Franklin Soil and Water Conservation District and additional assistance from Yellow Springs Brewery. Special thanks to this project's volunteer coordinator, Lynette, who has made it all happen through multiple surprises and lots of heavy lifting. Stay tuned for the finished results!

Grange Insurance Audubon Center - Revitalizing the Pollinator Garden

We have adopted the pollinator garden at Grange Insurance Audubon Center. Special thanks to the volunteer project coordinator, Dan, and Fiona from the Grange Insurance Audubon Center as well as volunteers from FCPP and the Grange. Prep work in spring 2025 included clearing out the weeds and invasives from the garden bed. Thanks to an anonymous donation, on June 19, 2025, we planted over 300 native plants and 28 different species. Majority of the plants were from Natives in Harmony.

Valley Forge Elementary with FLOW - Pollinator Garden & Outdoor Education

In collaboration with FLOW, we teamed up to do a native pollinator garden at Valley Forge Elementary School. It is a Columbus City School located in the Forest Park neighborhood. With our volunteers, FLOW, and volunteers from IGS Energy, we were able to install a diverse pollinator garden and an outdoor classroom space for the students and families to enjoy. Special thanks to our volunteers, Craig and Dan, who helped coordinate this project with FLOW. This project was completed over several work days wrapping up in August 2025.

Northwest Christian Church - Rain Garden

We worked with Northwest Christian Church in Upper Arlington to install a new native rain garden. We helped with this project and provided volunteers for install day. It was installed on May 25, 2025.
