Jenkintown Environmental Advisory Council reaps rewards of hard work

A pollinator garden on the traffic island at Vernon and Vista Roads is in full bloom, thanks to Jenkintown Environmental Advisory Council (JEAC) volunteers and area residents.

Borough Council approved plans in March 2022 for a pollinator garden to restore habitats for bees, butterflies, and birds. Garden preparations began in May, and 240 plants were in the soil by June.
