Adding plants like this to your yard – whether in a raised bed or windowsill – helps restore the pollinator population, which plays a huge role in keeping our fruit and vegetable harvests bountiful.
Our team created a fun activity in celebration of Earth Day – simply correlate your birth month with the color of your shirt and favorite state to find your own earthy name! Comment with yours!
