5 tips for starting a pollinator garden:
– Go native, they’re more attractive to pollinators
– Extend the feast, have plants that bloom early spring through fall
– Add variety, have a diverse selection of color, heights, fragrances
– Keep them energized, pollinators get energy from the sun
– Provide safe havens, create or buy shelters
