Long term care
Planting strips already have a unique land agreement between the City and the homeowner; the land is owned by the City, but homeowners care for the land. The Pollinator Pathway simply rests on that agreement between homeowner and the City.
However, long term care of this project is important to us, so we are working to find an existing gardening group that can ‘adopt’ the gardens long-term.
I live on the Pollinator Pathway, can I sign up?
Yes, of course! Anyone who owns a home between 12th and 29th on Columbia can sign up. Be in touch, and we’ll tell you more details.
I don’t live on the Pollinator Pathway, but can I sign up?
The project is limited to Columbia Street, but you can easily help pollinators by planting native plants- planting even a few makes a difference. Take a look at our Northwest-based plant list for inspiration, or use one of our free garden templates to start your own garden. Or, if you would like to help with this project, we welcome you to sign up as a garden volunteer.
