The Boulder Pollinator Garden Project is a new program to encourage the creation of high quality pollinator habitat throughout Boulder, both on public and private properties.

The long-term goal for this program is to coordinate the efforts of local organizations and individuals to create pollinator pathways and connections to open space that will establish Boulder as a pollinator haven supporting bees, butterflies, beetles, hummingbirds and other pollinators and native wildlife.
