How do I create a pollinator garden?

By Bob Millaway, South Jersey Community Expert & REALTOR®

Plant a variety of native flowers that bloom from early spring through late fall to provide continuous food sources. Include milkweed for monarch butterflies, coneflowers and black-eyed Susans for bees, and trumpet vine or bee balm for hummingbirds. Avoid pesticides. Provide a shallow water source and leave some bare ground for ground-nesting bees.

Why It Matters

Pollinator gardens support local ecosystems and improve fruit and vegetable production in your garden.
