pollination guide-arkiv - Pollinate Europe

Appreciated Basic Guide on Pollination

Pollinate Europe has created a guide called ”Pollination School” in cooperation with the Nordic gardencenter chain Plantagen. The purpose is spreading knowledge on pollinators – who they are and what they need. The guide was first launched in 2019 and has since been printed in three editions. In 2021 the guide will be distributed to schoolchildren in Swedish regions and cities who work conciously with improving the environment for pollinating insects. The guide can also be dowloaded for free on our Swedish website pollinerasverige.se and is also available in Norwegian and Finnish through Plantagens homepages.

Plantagen shows our Guide to pollinator friendly plants

Pollinate Europe has designed posters for Plantagens garden centers i Sweden, Norway and Finland. Our Guide on pollinator friendly plants shows when flowers, trees, bushes and herbs are in bloom, and supports customers in creating a garden that has nectar and pollen to offer insects all season. The pictures of plants were illustrated by artist Aron Landahl.

Cooperation with Plantagen

In spring 2019 Pollinate Europe started a long-term collaboration with the business chain Plantagen, which is leading in garden supply in Norway, Sweden and Finland. Through an instore campaign their customers will be guided to choose the right plants, trees and seeds to support pollinating insects.

The campaign contains attractive illustrations of and show what trees, plants, herbs and flowers to put in your garden to benefit the pollinators.

The purpose of the campaign is to increase knowledge of who the pollinators are – not only honeybees but also beetles, butterflies, hoverflies, solitary bees and bumblebees – and what they need. The illustrations are made by Aron Landahl, design by Anna Lind Lewin.
