This section features plants native to our region that attract pollinators such as bees, butterflies, moths, and hummingbirds. Native plants are those that occur naturally in a region, without having been introduced by humans.
Most flowering plants need pollinators to move their pollen so they can produce seeds, fruits, and the next generation of plants.
This garden is based on a guide by the Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant: https://iiseagrant.org/publications/full_sun_pollinator_garden/
