At EE&E, we believe that everything is connected, our products, the earth, and the role nature plays in our lives. Our journey started with a deep love for the outdoors, and this connection to nature continues to guide our business. From creating THC beverages and THC gummies to embracing sustainable farming practices, everything we do is rooted in the natural world.

Why pollinator gardens are essential for our ecosystem

Pollinator gardens provide a crucial habitat for bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects, which play an essential role in the production of food crops. These gardens are not just aesthetically pleasing, they help to maintain the delicate balance of our ecosystem and support biodiversity. By creating spaces that encourage the growth of flowers, shrubs, and herbs that pollinators love, we are directly contributing to a more sustainable environment.

In the U.S., nearly 75% of flowering plants and 35% of the world’s food crops depend on pollinators to thrive. By starting your own pollinator-friendly garden, you’re helping to ensure the continued success of these vital ecosystems. If you’ve never thought about how your pollinator garden can play a role in supporting pollinators, now is the perfect time to start!

Edwin’s Edibles & Elixirs and nature’s harmony

Our commitment to sustainability is deeply rooted in our connection to nature. John, the founder and CEO of Edwin’s Edibles & Elixirs, knows firsthand the importance of being mindful of how we interact with the environment. As he shared in a past interview, his personal experiences with nature were integral in creating the brand and its focus on high-quality, natural cannabis products.

The ethos of our company reflects this harmony, and it drives everything we do, from the ingredients in our THC-infused products to our commitment to sustainable farming practices.

Pollinator gardens align perfectly with this philosophy. They encourage a holistic approach to caring for the Earth and contribute to a natural cycle of growth and renewal, just like the plants we use for our products. It’s all connected, from the soil we nurture to the products we craft with care.

This May, we’re celebrating nature’s most crucial helpers, the pollinators, by offering a special gift to our customers. With every order placed by May 31st, receive a free packet of pollinator seeds with the coupon code: POLLINATOR.

Tips for creating your own pollinator garden

Creating a pollinator garden is easier than you might think, and you don’t need to be a gardening expert to make a big difference. Here’s how to get started:

1. Choose Native Plants: Pollinators love native plants, as they’re more familiar and have evolved to work together. Some excellent options include sunflowers, bee balm, and wild bergamot. These plants attract a variety of bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds.
2. Provide a Variety of Flowers: Plant a variety of flowers that bloom at different times of the year. This ensures that pollinators have a steady food source throughout the season. Think about planting early spring crocuses, summer wildflowers, and fall asters.
3. Make it a Safe Haven: Pollinators need a safe, quiet place to rest and nest. Avoid using harmful pesticides or chemicals in your garden, and consider adding small water sources like a birdbath or a shallow dish with pebbles to create a safe drinking station for pollinators.
4. Incorporate Herbs: Not only are herbs great for your kitchen, but many of them also attract beneficial pollinators. Try adding lavender, mint, oregano, or basil to your garden. These plants are particularly attractive to bees and butterflies.
5. Think About Sustainability: Use natural, organic fertilizers and compost, and plant trees or shrubs to create more habitat space for pollinators. The more diverse your garden, the better it will support the natural environment.

EE&E understands this interconnectedness. That’s why we take pride in using sustainable farming practices when sourcing ingredients for our products, such as the THC gummies and THC beverages you enjoy. We honor the earth that provides us with these resources, and we aim to leave a positive environmental footprint by supporting practices that respect nature’s balance.

The role of pollinator gardens

As gardeners begin to plan their spring plantings, one of the most important tasks they can take on is planting a pollinator-friendly garden. These gardens not only help preserve essential species but also support biodiversity and strengthen ecosystems.

Pollinator gardens are perfect for any space, whether you’re planting a full garden or adding a few flowers to a balcony or window box. These gardens typically include plants like milkweed, purple coneflowers, and sunflowers, all of which provide nectar and habitat for pollinators. By cultivating a garden that attracts bees and butterflies, you’re not just creating beauty, you’re contributing to a sustainable future.

As you get ready for spring planting, take a moment to visualize what your garden will look like this year. Will you create a small pollinator garden or incorporate these plants into your existing landscape? Now is the perfect time to start planning, and with our free pollinator seeds, we’re excited to help you get started.

Our connection to nature

Our founder, John, says that Edwin’s Edibles & Elixirs was built with a connection to nature in mind. It started with his love for the outdoors and a deep appreciation for the natural world. Inspired by his experience on the hike, John decided to create a gummy that would be the perfect companion for outdoor activities. This connection has influenced everything, from the ingredients we use to the way we approach sustainability in our business. We’re also big believers in the concept that nature and cannabis are inseparable, much like a well-kept garden.

Cannabis is an inherently natural plant, and it benefits from sustainable farming practices. It thrives best when it’s grown with respect for the environment, much like the plants in a pollinator garden. Whether you’re enjoying our THC beverages, like the assorted THC drinks – 4 pack, or savoring our fast-acting THC gummies, each product carries a little piece of the earth with it.
