This July folks gathered in downtown San Francisco to plant a garden right in front of city hall. The garden contains organic vegetables, herbs and other native plants. Food grown in the garden will be donated to those with limited access to healthy produce through a partnership with local food banks and meals programs. The Pollinator Partnership happily donated pollinator friendly plants from Annie's Annuals.

An Intimate Dinner with E.O. Wilson
The Pollinator Partnership was fortunate to have an opportunity to host Dr. E.O. Wilson and a small group of guests at the Intercontinental Hotel, Boston for dinner and discussion on “Pollinators and the Future of Food and Biodiversity.” Dr. Wilson has been the subject of PBS specials, won several Pulitzer Prizes and been awarded the Crafoord Prize, the scientific equivalent of the Nobel Prize. He is one of the great conservation thinkers of the 21st century, and also one of the most beloved individuals in science for his down-to-earth nature and his keen wit and humor. It was an evening to be remembered. (PDF)

Edward Wilson has been lauded as one of the greatest conservation thinkers of the 21st century. His groundbreaking research, original thinking, and scientific and popular writing have changed the way humans think of nature, and our place in it. Currently he is a research professor and museum curator at Harvard University. Ed is also one of the most beloved individuals in science for his down-to-earth nature and his keen wit and humor.
Wilson has received more than 100 awards from around the world including; the National Medal of Science, two Pulitzer Prizes for Non-fiction (for On Human Nature and, with Bert Hölldobler, The Ants), the Crafoord Prize of the Royal Swedish Academy of Science (given by the Academy in fields of science it does not cover by the Nobel Prize). In 1995 he was named one of the 25 most influential Americans by Time Magazine, and in 2000 one of the century’s 100 leading environmentalists by both Time and Audubon Magazine.
