Pollinator Plants at Bellevue Farmers Market
Pollinators are disappearing - the City of Bellevue w/Green Bellevue’s guidance & support became a Bee City USA in 2021 to protect them. In fact, many insects are in trouble and excessive use of pesticides that kill insects and the lack of habitat from urbanization are some of the reasons for their disappearance. You can help protect our pollinators by planting plants they need in your garden or containers. Come on down to the Bellevue Farmers Market Saturday mornings from 8:30-12:30 for native plants (for free-will offering) and education from Green Bellevue & our partners. We also have a Bee City USA Pollinator garden sign available!
