Creating a garden that welcomes and sustains a diverse array of wildlife is not only a joy for the senses but also a meaningful contribution to biodiversity conservation. Birds, bees, and butterflies play crucial roles in pollination and maintaining the delicate balance of ecosystems.
Inviting pollinators to your garden is not as hard as it may seem. You don’t need a large piece of land or a large garden. Flowers in pots, containers, and even windowsills can offer forage, food, and fodder for many of our migrating and permanent pollinators. There are many flowers to be planted now, see list below, that will continue to flourish and flower well into the fall.
