National Pollinator Week is an annual event celebrated internationally in support of pollinator health. It's a time to celebrate pollinators and spread the word about what we can do to protect them. James River Nurseries is proud to be part of this important celebration.

Pollinator Week was initiated and is managed by Pollinator Partnership. Fourteen years ago, the U.S. Senate's unanimous approval and designation of a week in June as "National Pollinator Week" marked a necessary step toward addressing the urgent issue of declining pollinator populations. Since then, Pollinator Week has grown into an international celebration, promoting the valuable ecosystem services provided by bees, birds, butterflies, bats, and beetles.

While this year might not be a typical Pollinator Week due to the COVID-19 pandemic, people across the planet have pledged to continue promoting pollinator health and well-being through socially distant and responsible events. Through numerous virtual gatherings, webinars, responsible planting sessions, socially distant garden and farm walks, and monument lightings, Pollinator Week 2021 is geared to be the busiest and best one yet!

Join us at James River Nurseries as we celebrate Pollinator Week and do our part to support these essential creatures. Together, we can make a difference in preserving our pollinators and the ecosystems they support.
