Tree Lawn Pollinator Gardens

Residents can help to build a bio-diverse network that supports pollinators. Through research provided by the Avon-on-the-Lake Garden Club, City Council passed an ordinance in February 2020 to allow tree lawns to be planted with native plants to become a part of the National Pollinator Highway. This effort is supported by Congress and State governments. Residents interested in participating in the program can download the Pollinator Planting Permit – PDF
