This pollinator garden was Alex Wongchaowart's Eagle Scout Project and was completed with the help of the scouts of Troop 299 and donations from St. Patrick's parishioners in the fall of 2023. It contains many pollinator plants native to Ohio, with a range of species that will bloom for the entirety of the pollinator season. The plants feed a wide variety of pollinators including bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to name a few.
