POLLINATORS
Smart gardeners know that it's the presence of pollinators—the
bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, flies, and other insects
(plus hummingbirds)—that makes the difference in the health,
fertility, and productivity of wild plants, food plants, and
landscape plants alike.
How You Can Help Pollinators
Plant native pollinator plants.
Create nesting habitat.
Avoid using pesticides.
Support land conservation efforts.

PLANTS
FOR
POLLINATORS
Animal pollinators are needed for the reproduction of 90% of flowering
plants and one third of human food crops. Pollinators include bees,
butterflies, moths, beetles, flies, birds, and bats. Each of us depends
on pollinators in a practical way to provide us with the wide range of
foods we eat. In addition, pollinators are part of the intricate web
that supports the biological diversity in natural ecosystems that helps
sustain our quality of life.

PLANTS
FOR
POLLINATORS
GARDENS
To support diverse pollinators, try to:
Buy locally grown, pesticide-free native and non-invasive plants.
Provide at least 3-5 species of flowers in each season, that display
a variety of size, color, height and flower shape (tubular, flat, etc.).
Plant in clumps, which attract more pollinators than single plants.
Plant tubular-flowered plants in the Mint Family (oregano, catmint, sage,
lavender, etc) and flat-flowered plants in the Aster Family (sunflower
and other “daisies”) offer good resources to pollinators.
