Be a Star in the Summer Solstice Newton Pollinator Garden Tour!
Share the beauty and ecological benefits of YOUR native plant garden with the community! The Newton Community Pollinator Project, invites you to host your garden for the Summer Solstice Newton Pollinator Garden Tour.
Following the success of last September’s tour, this year’s event highlights the vibrant blooms of June. We’re seeking gardens in Newton featuring mostly native plants to showcase the crucial role they play in supporting pollinators.
Here’s how it works:
- Host an open house: List your garden’s location, types of plants, and hours (12-2 pm south, and 2-4 pm north)
- Front yard views welcome: If you can’t host personally but have a visible native plant garden, we’d still love to include it!
- Get featured: Your garden will be included in a tour guide map with a brief description. A plant list and photo of your garden would be fantastic! Even new gardens with compelling stories are encouraged to participate.
Why showcase your native garden? You’ll inspire others to create their own pollinator havens, directly contributing to the health of our local ecosystem. By participating, you’ll directly contribute to raising awareness about the critical role native plants play in supporting our precious pollinators and the overall health of our environment. You’ll connect with like-minded individuals and inspire others to create their own vibrant, life-sustaining spaces.
Ready to participate? If you are interested in having your garden included in the tour this year, please note it in the registration or contact Ted Kuklinski at tkuklinski@aol.com.
