Learn all about planting for pollinators through the Tennessee Department of Transportation initiative, Project Milkweed. The goal of this program is to encourage community restoration of habitats for monarch butterflies, bees, and other pollinators across Tennessee.
Learn about the program at the Project Milkweed website. You can order native milkweed seeds and mixed pollinator seeds and learn how to successfully incorporate native plants into your garden. The site provides detailed information, including several planting templates for different locations in your landscape.
