Planting for Pollinators

Pollinator Gardens at Fowler

In fall 2022, we joined the Concord Pollinator Health Advisory Committee, Natural Resources Division, Concord Land Conservation Trust, CCHS Green Team, and community members in a pilot program to add native seeds to our Seed Lending Library. We broke ground that September to add a pollinator garden in the Fowler backyard. In 2025, we received a grant from the Garden Club of Concord to plant a second pollinator garden in the front yard. We hope that you will visit our gardens, learn with us, and perhaps feel inspired to create your own pollinator gardens.

Keep an eye on our calendar for events and workshops related to conserving at-risk pollinator systems and promoting biodiversity. Join us for winter seed sows, transplanting, seed saving workshops, and more. Curious about other efforts in Concord? Learn more through a self-guided tour.

Annual Seedling Giveaway

With support from the Friends of Concord Free Public Library, we have been giving out native tree seedlings annually to celebrate Arbor Day. In 2025, inspired by Robin Wall Kimmerer's Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World, we will have a raffle for larger serviceberry plants (in gallon pots), starting on April 22 at both libraries. We will notify winners and give these out as well as bare-root seedlings of smaller native trees starting Mother's Day Weekend.
