Just got super lovely designs from Studio Matthews for tshirts and bags to support the Pollinator Pathway. Here’s a bag example. For now, we’re selling a small selection of them here:

Just in case you didn’t know (I know, how could you not know this)- its National Pollinator Week! To celebrate, plant a native plant for the little guys.
We’re super excited to announce that we passed the Citywide Review Team process on the grant we applied for. Next our application goes to City Council and then the Mayor! We’ll know in August if we get the grant. If we get the grant, we’ll be able to plant 16 new gardens!
Pledge support for the project! Like to garden? We’re looking for volunteers to pledge hours towards planting in the fall. These pledged hours will be matched by the City with cash (at $20 per hour). Please send us a note- let us know how many hours you can pledge, and we’ll put you on the list for the big planting party this fall. Thanks! Send to volunteer@pollinatorpathway.com
We’ve passed the first round, and are moving on to the second round.. actually applying for the grant with the Department of Neighborhoods.
I just hit ’send’ on an Intent to Apply application for a Dept. of Neighborhoods grant to do the next phase of the project. If given the invitation to go forward, we’ll apply for funding to do 16 gardens. Fingers crossed-wish us luck!

The newly planted garden.

Halfway there..

Here's what it looked like before we started.
I’m excited to report that we’ll be creating a new garden on November 7th, 2009 at 17th and Columbia. If you’d like to come help plant, please drop me a note.
The amazing team at Studio Matthews just finished up the new garden i.d. signs.. they look great! Holding them aside for now until we figure out how to keep them in the ground..
