About Us

Welcome

The Pollinator Shop began with a simple idea: to support pollinators by building awareness within our community about native plants and the species that depend on them, and by offering pollinator-themed goods where every purchase supports conservation organizations working to protect them.

We began by launching this website (thank you for visiting!) and becoming a vendor at local markets—an experience we’ve truly enjoyed. Along the way, we’ve met people from all over the United States, sharing gardening stories, learning from one another, and making new friends. We’re slowly expanding beyond goods to include free monthly hikes and workshops, and building partnerships with local organizations that share our mission of inviting people to get outside, slow down, and notice the pollinators and plants around them.

At its heart, The Pollinator Shop is about connection—to nature, to place, and to one another. Whether you’re here to shop, join a hike or workshop, explore free resources, or simply feel inspired to notice what’s growing and buzzing around you, you’re part of a community that cares about pollinators and the world they help sustain.

Thank you for being here.
— Andrea

 

Meet Andrea

Andrea is the founder of The Pollinator Shop. She started the shop out of a love for pollinators and a desire to support the scientists and organizations working to protect them. She believes that noticing the small relationships between native plants and pollinators can change how we care for the places we live.

When she’s not working on The Pollinator Shop, you’ll likely find Andrea exploring local green spaces, talking with fellow gardeners, or learning something new about the plants and pollinators of Florida.
