Welcome to our Pollinator Gardens
🌼 Explore Our Village Pollinator Gardens!
Newcomerstown is blooming with beauty — and purpose! In addition to our main pollinator garden, we’ve planted several vibrant pockets of pollinator-friendly flowers throughout the village. You’ll find colorful, buzzing gardens at Cy Young Park, Simonds-Heller Park, and in several welcoming areas around town. These spaces are not only beautiful to walk by or sit near, but they also play a vital role in supporting bees, butterflies, and other important pollinators. We invite you to take a stroll, snap a few photos, and enjoy the natural charm these gardens bring to our community. Keep your eyes open — you never know where you’ll find a patch of pollinator paradise!
Why pollinator gardens?
Our Pollinator Garden is part of our commitment to sustainability, beauty, and community engagement. Whether you’re a gardener, student, or passerby, we invite you to stop by, enjoy the blooms, and learn about the tiny heroes working quietly among the flowers.
