As we gardeners plant and plan now for spring beauty, I urge us to remember the birds and pollinators who are having a very difficult time right now. Many plants with wonderful blooms have a positive environmental impact as well, whether as food or medicine for humans or for the pollinators upon whom we depend for food. It would be terrific to see our parks emphasize planting natives and food trees. Please join me in providing for the natural world as we beautify our landscapes. ~ Jean Vitali, Belfast
