Pollinator Garden

Some Pollinator Garden features and recommendations to consider:  Plant a variety of flowers that bloom throughout the season to provide pollen and nectar to pollinators, as well as plants that support their larvae.  Native plants are always a good option.Never use chemical herbicides or pesticides as these can harm or kill pollinators and other beneficial insects.
