Phase 3: Seeding a Pollinator Garden <br />We propose completing the final 25’ with a second method of <br />direct sowing; starting seeds in the garden rather than start with <br />transplants. <br />Benefits: <br />•Provides an alternative style of garden <br />•Uses a mix of annuals and perennials to get blooms in 1st <br />season <br />•Easier to install <br />•Cost effective <br />7 <br />Opportunity for 2020 <br />8 <br />Opportunity: State of Minnesota is offering Legume to <br />Lawns grants to convert turf grass into Bee Lawns. <br />Recommendation: Public Works evaluate other areas <br />within community parks where terrain is challenging to <br />maintain and identify where we might want to expand <br />Bee Lawns to reduce risks in maintenance. <br />Our experience in seeding this first flowering lawn is the process is <br />much easier than installing a traditional garden.
