Pollination Tip: Attracting Pollinators to Your Garden

To ensure successful pollination, it’s crucial to attract pollinators like bees, butterflies, and birds to your garden. Planting a diverse range of flowering plants and herbs can help attract these beneficial insects and birds. Some excellent choices include lavender, marigolds, zinnias, and borage. Providing a water source, such as a shallow birdbath or water-filled container, also helps attract pollinators. Avoid using pesticides, as they can harm pollinators. Additionally, consider creating a habitat by adding bee houses or providing shelter for birds to nest. These efforts will enhance pollination and improve the overall health of your garden.
