Sustain The Ecosystem/Plant A Garden Pollinators Love

Pollinators such as bees and butterflies play a key role in sustaining our ecosystem, helping more than 180,000 plant species and over 1200 crops reproduce. Unfortunately, pollinators are in decline due to loss of feeding and nesting habitats, pollution, misuse of chemicals, changing climate patterns. 

Help increase the pollinator population by filling your garden with annuals the bees love such as: alyssum, cleome, zinnias, sunflowers, salvia, calendula, verbena. Or plant herbs with your vegetables, let some flower, and they will draw in the pollinators to your other plants. 

Consider the color of your flowers too – bees can’t see red, but butterflies can.  Bees like purple, blue, white and yellow flowers.
