GARDENING FOR POLLINATORS

Adding native plants to your urban, suburban or rural landscape is one of the most important ways that individuals can support pollinators such as butterflies. No space is too small or too big. Add native plants to an existing annual or vegetable garden or completely start from scratch. Some native plants can even thrive in a container and reside on your outdoor porch or anywhere else outside. There's no right way to pollinator garden, so take the dive and add native plants around your home, school, workplace or community this next planting season (i.e. spring or fall)!
