Pollinators need our help! Learn what plants to grow to support your native butterfly, bee, moth, and hummingbird populations. These species play an integral role in keeping plants, gardens, ecosystems, and the planet healthy. Their job is to move from plant to plant gathering pollen. This system is the basis for how many if not most of our favorite plants are fertilized, which allows them to produce seeds and keep their species growing and thriving. Learn more about the role pollinators play here. Not only are our pollinator friends helpful, but they are also beautiful. See which plants attract which species, and what you can do to keep your garden feeding your local pollinators all season long.
