Plants for Pollinators

Gardeners are nurturers by nature. A sense of fulfillment comes each time we hear a hummingbird whiz by or watch a robin build a new nest. Whether you garden on ten acres or on your condo’s patio, you can provide a safe space for pollinators to live, feed and multiply. Enjoy adding bright containers to your backyard, then sit back and watch the bees, butterflies and hummingbirds enjoy these flat-topped and trumpet-shaped flowers that provide the pollen and nectar they are seeking.
