Building a Pollinator-Friendly Garden

Choose native plants, avoid pesticides, and allow a little wildness. Plants like lavender, foxglove, and verbena bonariensis are favourites among bees and butterflies. Even a small garden can support a thriving ecosystem.

Plant in generous clusters, stagger blooms through the seasons, and keep some leaf litter for overwintering insects. Your garden becomes not just a haven for you — but for the essential wildlife that keeps it thriving.
