How to fill out pollinator friendly gardens

How to fill out pollinator friendly gardens:

1. Choose native plants: Native plants are adapted to the local environment and provide the best food and habitat for pollinators. Research which native plants are suitable for your region and include a variety of flowering plants that bloom at different times of the year.
2. Provide a water source: Pollinators need water to drink and cool down. Include a shallow dish or birdbath with fresh water for them to access.
3. Minimize pesticide use: Avoid using pesticides in your garden as they can harm pollinators. Instead, opt for natural pest control methods such as companion planting and integrated pest management.
4. Create shelter: Pollinators need places to rest and hide. Include features like logs, rocks, and shrubs where they can take shelter and build nests.
5. Avoid invasive plants: Invasive plants can outcompete and harm native plants. Make sure to research and avoid planting invasive species in your pollinator friendly garden.
6. Provide a variety of flowers: Different pollinators are attracted to different types of flowers. Include a mix of flower shapes, colors, and sizes to accommodate a diverse range of pollinators.
7. Plant in groups: Clustering plants together in groups makes it easier for pollinators to find them and saves their energy. Aim for at least three to five of the same plant species in each grouping.
8. Continuously provide nectar: Pollinators require a steady supply of nectar throughout the seasons. Choose plants that bloom at different times to ensure a constant food source.
9. Educate yourself and others: Learn about the specific pollinators in your area and their needs. Share your knowledge with others to raise awareness and encourage the creation of more pollinator friendly gardens.
