CROFTON HIGH SCHOOL POLLINATOR GARDEN

Late Season Color at Crofton High School’s Pollinator Garden

The Crofton High School Pollinator Garden is showing its autumn beauty with goldenrod and aster in bloom, providing important late-season nourishment for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.

The garden was created by the school’s Green Team with support from the Crofton Village Garden Club, which donated funds to help establish the project on school grounds. It has earned recognition as a National Wildlife Federation Certified Schoolyard Habitat, a distinction awarded to outdoor spaces that provide the essential elements of food, water, shelter, and places for wildlife to raise their young.

This special habitat gives students hands-on experience with native plants and fosters a deeper understanding of how pollinator gardens contribute to a healthy ecosystem—right in their own schoolyard.
