With thousands of gardeners and backyard enthusiasts connecting with Miracle-Gro® each year, the
company has also launched a web site dedicated to this effort. ScottsMiracleGro.com/PollinatorPromise
provides online answers to common questions about backyard pollinator gardens. Through its existing
relationship with the Tournament of Roses, ScottsMiracle-Gro also will directly engage gardeners
throughout 2016 about the need for pollinator habits. In fact, this year’s Miracle-Gro® float will
prominently feature pollinators.
“We are calling upon individual gardeners and communities to help reverse the downward population
trend by restoring the natural habitat bees and butterflies need to survive,” said Michele Colopy,
Program Director, of the Pollinator Stewardship Council. “We are pleased to partner with ScottsMiracleGro to help spearhead these efforts that are at the core of our mission.”
To join the effort, submit a grant application open January 4-February 22 or to learn more about how to
