RONAN — Do you love flowers and bees? Help the Lake County Conservation District (LCCD) attract more beneficial pollinators to our county. We have designed a pollinator-friendly seed mix, filled with flowers and legumes specifically designed for Lake County and now we want you to help us plant it. The seed mix contains over 20 species of beneficial, pollinator-friendly plants including Prairie Coneflower, Yarrow, Sunflower, and various pensteomons. We are providing seed free of charge for county residents to establish pollinator garden plots. Seed will be provided for plots of up to 2,500 square feet. Site preparation is required prior to planting with an expectation that the pollinator garden will be managed and tended to over time. Our staff will assist you by providing expertise for site selection and planting. Whether you are a backyard enthusiast or a large-scale agricultural producer, we’d love to work with you to improve pollinator habitat on your property.
