Walmart Pilots Pollinator Gardens at Stores in 3 States
Walmart Inc. revealed that it has planted 21 pollinator gardens at stores in Oregon, Washington state and North Carolina. The gardens are designed to beautify the stores’ outdoor grounds while aiming to increase such pollinators as bees and butterflies, which have experienced population declines in recent decades.
The first garden was planted in April 2019 at a Walmart store in Garner, N.C., with another unveiled at Walmart’s global corporate headquarters, in Bentonville, Ark. The rest, in the Pacific Northwest, debuted in late April or early May.
Some of Walmart’s pollinator gardens feature milkweed, a plant used by monarch butterflies for shelter, food and laying eggs. Walmart said that it hopes that the gardens will spur its shoppers, employees and local community members to plant their own. Customers interested in buying pollinator flower seeds can ask a lawn and garden associate for further information.
