Raise your hand if you love dandelions and chickweed. Well, I think many of us who have tried to maintained a well manicured lawn can at least share a story about the battle of the dandelions. I am almost ashamed to admit the lengths I have gone to in order to eliminate them from by yard when I owned property in South Carolina.
Unknown to most people, these plants serve a vital function for the early Spring pollinators, especially bees. And in our over exuberance to maintain a pretty lawn, we are actually damaging our environment in more than one way.
In this episode, I am going to discuss how pollinators are a valuable part of our ecosystem, what would happen if they disappear, and what all of us can do to help. So, stayed tuned for E145, The Pillage of the Pollinators.
Always remember to live sustainably because this is how we build a better future.
