Solano County nonprofits debut Mare Island pollination garden
By Chris Ramirez - Times Herald Online
Solano County nonprofits dedicated to environmental sustainability and conservation have unveiled a community garden to help bolster hurting monarch butterfly numbers across the western United States.
Where the garden now stands was once a space previously left untended and formally referred to as the Pollinator Pathway Garden. Located at the Global Center for Success, the Mare Island Garden is the product of a year-long collaboration among various entities across the county.
The groups involved with the garden include A Plus Tree, Caliground Troops, the Global Center for Success, the Mare Island Company, the Monarch Milkweed Project, the Solano Resource Conservation District, the Solano County Water Agency, the Vallejo Project, the Solano Community Foundation, and Sustainable Solano.
