Clearview Farm, Mahomet-Seymour High School’s Future Farmers of America and others took on a big planting project on Wednesday. But most may need a bird’s-eye view to take in the full picture.

They all joined together to create an Illinois-shaped pollinator garden, located at Clearview Farm in Champaign. The farm got the idea from a garden in Kane County, then started making their own plans last fall. They started planting with help from students and the community. […]

The garden is called a native pollinator garden, and it contain plants native to the region. It’s meant to be a better food source and habitat to reproduce. […]

The native pollinator garden is 500,000 square feet with over 900 plants.

Here it is
