The Rogue Buzzway Project

The Rogue Buzzway is an interactive map which represents southern Oregon’s pollinator corridors.

From the Southern Oregon University’s website: “The Rogue Buzzway was created after the Pollinator Project Rogue Valley approached SOU associate professor Jamie Trammel in 2016 about mapping the Rogue Valley’s pollinator gardens. Trammel and then-SOU student Ollie Bucolo and Dr. Jamie Trammell created the map, whose scope and capabilities have grown over the years with the contributions of other Environmental Science & Policy interns.”

Leo Helm, who graduated fall 2024, is the latest in a succession of SOU interns to work on the Buzzway Map. The current map shows 120 self-certified pollinator gardens from Ashland to Grants Pass, but this is an ongoing project.

Spreading Happiness: Ashland Garden Club’s Lonely Bouquet Event

Lonely Bouquet is a global movement which encourages people to create small bouquets with a thoughtful message attached, then leave these flowers in public spaces for others to find and keep. This simple act of kindness has the power to transform someone’s day, spreading happiness throughout communities.

On September 9, Ashland Garden Club members created 30 bouquets, and distributed them randomly throughout Ashland for residents to find.
