We want communities to know how vital pollinators are in our daily lives," said John D. Jenkins, director, Dallas Park and Recreation. "Creating the Crawford Park pollinator garden will provide an outdoor classroom and a natural space where residents can learn and enjoy all year round.”
The BioBlitz campaign is part of ScottsMiracle-Gro’s Gro More Good commitment to promote pollinator education and protection to children, America’s youngest generation of gardeners.
