Creating a Pollinator Paradise

Pollinator gardens are essential for supporting biodiversity and ensuring the health of our ecosystems. By planting native flowers that bloom throughout the seasons, you create a haven for bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other beneficial insects.

Essential Elements

  • 🌻 Diverse flower shapes and sizes
  • 🎨 Variety of colors throughout seasons
  • 💧 Shallow water source or birdbath
  • 🏠 Nesting sites and shelter
  • 🌿 Host plants for butterfly larvae
  • ☀️ Sunny spots and shaded areas

Maintenance Tips

  • ✓ Avoid pesticides and herbicides
  • ✓ Leave some areas "messy" for nesting
  • ✓ Deadhead flowers to extend blooming
  • ✓ Plant in clusters for better visibility
  • ✓ Provide windbreaks for butterflies
  • ✓ Keep some seed heads for winter food
