Pollinator-Friendly Plants

Pollinator-friendly plants are species that attract and support pollinators, such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds, by providing nectar, pollen, and habitat. Examples include coneflowers, milkweed, and bee balm. These plants are essential for maintaining healthy ecosystems and supporting the reproduction of many plants, including those that produce fruits and vegetables. Pollinator-friendly plants are often used in garden beds, borders, and meadows to create vibrant, wildlife-friendly landscapes. They can be selected to bloom at different times throughout the growing season, ensuring a continuous food source for pollinators. In addition to their ecological benefits, these plants add color, movement, and life to the garden, making them a popular choice for both ornamental and functional landscaping.
