Pollinator Gardens

Pollinator gardens are designed to attract and support pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds by incorporating a diverse array of nectar- and pollen-rich plants. These gardens play a crucial role in sustaining pollinator populations, which are essential for the reproduction of many plants and the production of fruits and vegetables. Pollinator gardens typically feature native plants, flowering perennials, and shrubs that bloom at different times throughout the growing season to provide a continuous food source. In addition to providing habitat and food for pollinators, these gardens also contribute to biodiversity and enhance the beauty of the landscape. Sustainable practices in pollinator gardens include avoiding the use of chemical pesticides, providing water sources, and creating nesting sites. Pollinator gardens are an important aspect of sustainable landscaping, supporting the health of ecosystems and food systems.
