Pollinator Gardens and Butterfly Plantings for Sustainable Landscaping
What it is:
Landscape features and plant selection designed to attract and support butterflies, bees, and other pollinators. Butterflies and honey bees get the press, but let us tell you about our favorite secret, pollinators, beetles.
Why it matters:
Helps declining pollinator populations
Increases garden yields
Creates a vibrant, colorful landscape
How we do it:
Solid design principles, good plant selection, and careful maintenance. We consider host plants, keystone species, and strategic bloom calendars for season-long pollinator support. We love to see a buzzing garden.
Derivatives, styles, and similar concepts. We point these out to help relate to terms that can be unclear, ambiguous, and overlapping in our field.
