New website: Creating a Pollinator Garden

Once in a while I come across website that beg to be shared and this is one of them. Creating a Pollinator Garden is one of them. I received this through the Librarian's Internet Index (lii.org), so it has been checked to be a reliable source of info on the net, something all parents should be very concerned with. It teaches how to create a pollinator garden, what kinds of plants attract which kinds of helpful critters (i.e., did you know that bees prefer yellow, blue and purple flowers?). This website is sponsored by the National Gardening Association and gives curriculum ideas, related websites, articles and more. It may inspire some worthy and fun projects for your students.
