Pollinator Garden Beginnings

 

Location for Garden

My husband and I recently built a new smaller home.  There was little to no landscaping around our home except for the woods shown in the picture and the grass that we started last fall.  We were discussing what to do with our yard and didn't want to create a maintenance nightmare. We first saw the Conservation Opportunity Grant in The Cheshire County Conservation District newsletter in the beginning of February.  This sounded like a great opportunity to get some help for ourselves and for the native pollinators that live near us.  We did our research and came up with a plan for a pollinator garden in our back yard between the woods and lawn areas.  We actually didn’t think we stood a chance of getting the grant.  We were very surprised and excited when we got the email saying that we had been chosen as a recipient of a grant.  Our next step was the CCCD site visit scheduled for mid-May.
