Help out our pollinators by creating and maintaining a garden that attracts and supports these important members of our ecosystem.
Pollinators are responsible for about 75% of the food we eat and play an important role in producing food, fiber, medicine and more.
The European honeybee is the most well-known but our native bees along with moths, wasps, beetles, flies, bats, and some birds also help pollinate our gardens.
Just like the honeybees and Monarch butterflies, many pollinators are struggling with their populations dwindling due to pesticides and loss of habitat.
