Hello there, the requirement in 4.1 specifies to designate an area for a pollinator garden(Designate a portion of the habitat area for a pollinator garden consisting of native flowering plants and totaling at least 30 square feet (3 square meters)
Do you think we could argue that there are multiple pollinator areas and not just one central one ?

It doesn't seem to really serve a purpose except fo education to have all the potential pollinator plants in one single area.

Opinions ?

You can provide multiple pollinator gardens with at least total area of 30 square feet. We have achieved this credit by providing multiple such gardens througout the site. Hope this helps!

As a biologist I really doubt that 3 sqm pollinator garden is really helpful (as urbanist - I support even such small one since it contributes to awarness about such thing), and of course it even less helpfull to environment if you divide this poor little 3 sqm into smaller parts, BUT (!) for LEED perposes it counts if one would make several areas of pollinator plants with total area of 3 sqm on the project site.
