Thank you to all of the residents who shared your knowledge and passion and to my colleagues in the Building and Zoning Division for helping to make this important change a reality.
Columbus is planting change. With new legislation championed by Councilmember @christopherwyche.bsky.social, we’re creating space for pollinator gardens — a simple, powerful step toward greener neighborhoods and healthier ecosystems.

Due to habitat loss, pesticide use, and changes in our climate, pollinator populations are declining dramatically. Here in the City of Columbus, we want to remove barriers to supporting these important members of our ecosystem.
Pollinator gardens are now exempt from noxious weed code!
