Kentucky Native Plant Society is pleased to announce the recipients of 2026 Pollinator Garden Grants. These grants will help the recipients purchase native pollinator plants, seeds or both to set up a pollinator garden. These gardens will allow various audiences the opportunity to see native pollinator plants and the pollinators they serve. Hopefully visitors to the gardens will be inspired to install a pollinator garden of their own or incorporate some native pollinator plants into home landscapes.

Debbie Brown, Good Shepherd Catholic School
