Bee City USA® Pollinator Garden
In June 2021, in honor of National Pollinator Month, Parks & Recreation dedicated a new Bee City USA® Pollinator Garden at Red Wing Park. The new garden, a healthy habitat with a rich variety of native plants, was designed to sustain pollinators like bees, butterflies, and moths that are responsible for fertilization, seed, and fruit production.
In 2020, Virginia Beach became a Bee City USA affiliate, joining many other cities and campuses across the country to unite in improving their landscapes for pollinators. The Council of Garden Clubs of Virginia Beach and Virginia Beach Parks & Recreation led efforts to accomplish this certification, which not only supports bees but all native pollinators.
Bee City USA® is an initiative of the Xerces Society for Invertebrate Conservation, a nonprofit organization based in Portland, Oregon, with offices across the country. Bee City USA's mission is to galvanize communities to sustain pollinators by providing them with healthy habitats, rich in a variety of native plants and free of insecticides.
