Plant. Grow. Fly. presented by Beth Waage, Story County Conservation.
Pollinators are in decline due to a variety of reasons including global climate change, loss of habitat and feeding resources, and some modern agricultural practices. How can you help? You can join Plant.Grow.Fly. by creating a much-needed pollinator habitat at your home, school or even place of work! Our expertly researched garden recipes will help you to plant flower and grasses that benefit local species the most.
Menu: Meatloaf, Mashed Potatoes, Gravy, Mixed Veggies with Dinner Roll & Butter, and Cookies
