[For details, see the <a href=\"https:\/\/newsmanager.commpartners.com\/safwash\/issues\/2015-05-22.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">May 22 SAF Week in Review<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/endowment.org\/saf-afe-release-statement-on-national-pollinator-health-strategy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">May 21 AFE press release<\/a>]. First Lady Michelle Obama spoke to schoolchildren at a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/the-press-office\/2015\/06\/02\/first-lady-michelle-obama-harvest-white-house-kitchen-garden-highlight-p\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">White House garden event<\/a> on June 3 about the importance of pollinators.<br>The National Pollinator Garden Network will work to provide resources for individuals, community groups, government agencies and the garden industry to create more pollinator habitat. Pollinator gardens provide a way to help pollinators, by offering food, water, and habitat for honey bees, native bees, butterflies, hummingbirds and other pollinators \u2014 and the horticulture industry has a major role to play in providing plants for those gardens. Healthy and site-appropriate plants produced by professional growers of trees, plants and flowers provide the very things that pollinators need to thrive.<br>President Obama\u2019s National Pollinator Health Strategy has three major goals: Reduce honey bee colony losses, increase Monarch butterfly numbers, and restore public and private lands as pollinator habitat. These goals align well with the horticulture industry\u2019s Bee and Pollinator Stewardship Initiative, <a href=\"https:\/\/growwise.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.growwise.org<\/a>, which will develop grower stewardship best practices for plant production, direct and leverage research to provide the sound science needed to underpin decision making, and look for opportunities to help improve and provide forage and habitat. To learn more about the industry\u2019s Stewardship Initiative, go to <a href=\"https:\/\/endowment.org\/bee-donate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Endowment.org\/bee-donate<\/a>.<br>The goal of the Network is to rally thousands of gardeners, horticulture professionals, schools and volunteers to help reach the million gardens goal. Any individual can contribute by planting for pollinators, in gardens ranging from window boxes to farm borders, golf courses, school gardens, and corporate and university campuses.
