We had a very busy summer! In late July our volunteers returned to tend the new meadow at Plymouth Meeting Friends School, and we threw four Not-a-Lawn Parties in July & August in North Wales, East Norriton, and Lower Gwynedd. Four yard owners with gardens designed and installed by Journeywork welcomed visitors to check out how things were growing, ask questions, and sip lemonade; our founder Paige Menton was on hand to share information about the process, the prep, and the plants.

Pollinator Palooza registration

Ready to add a pollinator garden to your yard?

After you register, we will send you the steps to prepare your garden bed in the spring by sheet mulching. Then in the fall, Journeywork will let you know the location near you to pick up your collection of 28 plants for shade or sun. We will give you a suggested garden design too!

Want to get your own mulch and plants and just need the guides? Fill out the registration and check that box. We will email them–no charge. Plant away and send us a photo!
