Program Information

The City of Lewisville is excited to launch Roots for Wings, a pilot program certifying residential pollinator and native habitat gardens.  This program provides residents with training and education on site selection and preparation, plant selection and maintenance, and ecological benefits. The workshop is taught in partnership with the Native Plant Society of Texas, Denton County Master Gardeners, and Elm Fork Master Naturalists. 

Native plants are a sustainable landscape option that provide many local benefits to the community, including reduced water consumption, drought tolerance, and habitat and food for birds, butterflies, bees, and other wildlife.

Is your garden installed and flourishing? If so, then you may be ready for the next steps in certification. If you would like to pursue a Roots for Wings Residential Pollinator Garden certification, the first step is to review the Program Guidelines above, then complete this application. You will be asked to submit some information about your garden, including types of plants and border, as well as clear pictures.  A volunteer from one of our community partner organizations will contact you to set up a time to review your garden. After your application and site visit are complete, you will receive a yard sign to let everyone know that your hard work is supporting the pollinators in our community.
