Who we are
Pollinator Coaches of Minnesota is a different kind of pollinator experience. Making pollinator friendly gardening choices can be overwhelming; there’s so much information, it’s all highly-specific and difficult to implement, and life is already busy enough without adding a class to your schedule. At Pollinator Coaches of Minnesota, when you request a coach, our team will connect you with a trained, certified Pollinator Coach from your community. Together, you and your Pollinator Coach will take a walk around your yard and discuss what projects you have in mind, what could be possible, what aspects of pollinator support you’re already doing right, and provide you with resources to help you find success in your pollinator friendly gardening choices on any budget and at any scale.
