SHERMAN'S POLLINATOR GARDEN
Community Pollinator Pathway projects are volunteer organized gardens. They focus on establishing a pollinator friendly habitat and food source for: bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and others.
The Sherman Conservation Commission has created a pollinator garden in its first stage of growth @ Veteran’s Field. We plan to continue to add plantings and will expand the footprint of the garden as well. We encourage everyone to come check it out for themselves!
You can learn more about Pollinator Pathways at www.pollinator-pathway.org.
To join our team of volunteers and help with planting and watering, please email us at: scc@townofshermanct.org.
