pollinator garden

Butterfly-attracting flower patch

A pollinator garden is planted specifically to attract and support bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other creatures that transfer pollen between flowers.

These gardens typically feature native plants, diverse bloom times, and avoid pesticides: We converted the back lawn into a pollinator garden.

The term reflects growing awareness of declining pollinator populations and their importance to ecosystems and food production.
