Pollinator Paks™

Plant for pollinators

It’s no secret—pollinator populations are struggling. The good news? You can help.

We’ve teamed up with Glacial Ridge Growers in Glenwood, MN to bring you six-packs of carefully selected perennial plants—most are native and all are neonicotinoid-free and known to attract and support specific pollinators. This summer, find four different Pak™ options—bee, butterfly, hummingbird and monarch—at local garden centers and garden club plant sales across Minnesota.

$1 from every Pak™ purchased is donated directly to the hort society’s community outreach programs.

You can help

Do you own a garden center or run a garden club plant sale? You can order Pollinator Paks™ wholesale by March 15 and receive them in May, ready to sell to today’s gardeners who are concerned about the challenges facing pollinators.


Are you a gardener? Look for Pollinator Paks™ at garden centers, nurseries and plant sales June through September. Each Pak™ includes six plants, ready to drop in the ground and known to attract pollinators, from bees and butterflies to hummingbirds and rusty patched bumblebees.
