Bee’s & Pollinators! |
Bee’s and other pollinators are extremely important to the health of your garden and landscape. To help bees and other pollinator insects, like butterflies, you should provide a range of plants that will bloom throughout the whole growing season. Particularly native plants! Native plants are usually best for native bees and can be used in both wild areas and gardens. Patches of native plants can be created in many different locations of your yard and even a small area planted with good native flowers will be beneficial for local bees because each patch will add to the mosaic of habitat for bees and other pollinators. There are also many garden plants particularly older, heirloom varieties of perennials and herbs that are good sources of nectar or pollen. Together with native plants, these will make a garden attractive to both pollinators and people. Want more information?
