pollinator gardens
Butterfly-attracting flower beds
Pollinator gardens are plantings designed to attract and support bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other animals that transfer pollen between flowers.
They typically feature native plants, continuous bloom cycles, and habitat elements like water sources or bare ground for nesting: We converted the side yard into a pollinator garden with milkweed and coneflowers.
