Habitat loss is one of the leading causes of decline for native pollinators globally. Growing your own pollinator garden can help address this issue and support a healthier environment for future generations.

Our Georgia Pollinator Partnership Map displays pollinator gardens across the state. By mapping your garden with us, partners within GAPP can better track the types of pollinator resources available across Georgia.

Add your garden to the map to help us fill the GAPP!
