Creating a Pollinator-Friendly Garden

Attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators is essential for a healthy garden ecosystem. Pollinators improve plant health, increase fruit and vegetable yields, and support biodiversity. By choosing the right plants and creating a welcoming environment, you can turn your garden into a haven for these beneficial creatures.

🌸 Choosing Pollinator-Friendly Plants

• Native Flowers: They provide nectar and pollen that local pollinators prefer.

• Continuous Bloom: Plant flowers that bloom at different times to provide year-round resources.

• Colorful Choices: Bright colors like yellow, purple, and blue attract bees and butterflies.

• Fragrant Varieties: Strong scents guide pollinators to your garden.

Product Tip: Our garden shop carries seed packs of pollinator-friendly flowers, including sunflowers, lavender, and coneflowers.

☀️ Providing Water and Shelter

• Shallow Water Sources: Bees need small water areas to drink safely.

• Insect Hotels: Provide nesting spaces for solitary bees and beneficial insects.
