🌼 Create a Pollinator Paradise in 3 Easy Steps

Step 1: Plant the Right Flowers

Choose a mix of native plants that bloom from spring through fall. Include a variety of shapes, sizes, and colors to attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Top choices include:

• Coneflowers, Bee Balm, Milkweed, Black-eyed Susans

• Lavender, Catmint, and Zinnias

• Native grasses and flowering herbs

Pro Tip: Group the same plant in clusters—pollinators prefer big, bold patches over scattered single plants.

Step 2: Provide Food, Water & Shelter

• Water: Add a shallow birdbath or dish with stones for safe sipping.

• Shelter: Leave a few bare patches of soil, brush piles, or install bee hotels and butterfly houses.

• Pesticide-Free Zone: Avoid chemicals—go organic or use pollinator-safe methods to protect these garden helpers.

Step 3: Keep It Blooming and Buzzing

• Deadhead spent flowers to encourage reblooming.

• Mulch naturally to retain moisture and reduce weeds.

• Add signage to let others know it’s a pollinator garden—and inspire them to plant one too!

Bonus: Your garden will be bursting with life, color, and the gentle hum of nature doing its work.
