Pollinator Friendly Planting

Interested in creating an environmentally friendly landscape while adding fragrance and color to your yard at the same time? "Bee" a friend to the Earth and consider planting some pollinator-friendly blooms this year around your home! Pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds play an important role in our environment and could use a helping hand when it comes to finding blooms to pollinate.

Diversifying bloom times is the best way to attract pollinators year-round. This means there is always something blooming in your landscape, keeping pollinators coming back for more season after season. Secondly, planting things in groups allows bees and butterflies to find your flowers easily. This method of planting design also allows for concentrated color and fragrance in your yard!
