Attract Pollinators to Your Garden
Learn which plants, habitats, and practices bring bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to your yard. Practical tips tested in a Zone 6b garden.
Habitats
Ponds, compost, log piles, and native planting that turn a yard into wildlife habitat.
Wildlife needs four things: food, water, shelter, and somewhere to breed. Supply those and a yard fills with life on its own.
Small moves count. A buried tub becomes a pond, a compost heap shelters insects, and standing seed heads feed birds all winter. Native plants tie it together.
