Opt for native plants that are adapted to your region. Native plants provide nectar, pollen, and habitat that local pollinators are accustomed to, promoting a healthy ecosystem.
Select a variety of plants that bloom at different times throughout the growing season.
Different pollinators are attracted to different flower shapes and colors. Plant a diverse array of flowers to cater to various pollinator species.
Minimize or eliminate the use of pesticides in your garden, as they can harm pollinators.
Pollinators need water, especially in hot weather. Set up shallow containers with pebbles or create small water features to offer a water source for bees and butterflies.
Leave some areas in your garden with undisturbed soil, provide bee boxes, or leave deadwood to create nesting opportunities.
Grouping plants in clusters makes it easier for pollinators to locate and access the nectar and pollen. This design also adds visual appeal to your garden.
