Creating a Pollinator-Friendly Perennial Garden Design

Choose native plants like coneflowers, bee balm, and milkweed to attract pollinators. Group plants by color and bloom time for continuous blooms throughout the season.

Avoid using pesticides in your garden as they can harm pollinators. Instead, opt for natural pest control methods like handpicking pests or using insecticidal soaps.

Provide a water source like a birdbath or shallow dish with rocks for pollinators to drink. Include a variety of flower shapes to attract different types of pollinators.

Create habitat diversity by incorporating plants of varying heights and textures. Add nesting sites like bee houses and leave some areas of bare soil for ground-nesting bees.

Maintain your garden by deadheading flowers, removing weeds, and mulching to retain moisture. Monitor plant health and address any issues promptly to support pollinators.

Enjoy watching pollinators like bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds visit your garden. Take time to observe their behavior and the important role they play in pollination.
