Are your pollinator-friendly plants pesticide-free? Studies are showing that too many landscape plants and trees are pre-treated well before sale with long lasting pesticides, including both insecticides and fungicides. We don't want to betray the pollinators we are working to save by luring them to flowers that potentially can cause them harm. Learn how to ask […]
