Bees & Planting Pollinator Gardens

One of the best things our community can do for the local environment is to support our local pollinators by including native flowering plants in our gardens. If you're not sure where to start, check out the links provided below. And consider that not only do native plants help support pollinators like bees and butterflies, but they also are drought tolerant so use much less water than most non-native flowering plants, resulting in a savings for the environment and a savings for your wallet as well.
