The Million Pollinator Garden Challenge (MPGC) was a successful nationwide call to action to preserve and create gardens and landscapes that help revive the health of bees, butterflies, birds, bats and other pollinators across America. Running from 2015 to 2018, we moved millions of individuals, kids and families outdoors and make a connection between pollinators and the healthy food people eat. Pollinators still need your help, learn how you can continue to create important habitat here.
