Welcome to our Plant for Pollinators 2025 series!

During this series we will share about the importance of encouraging pollinators in your garden, ways to grow WITH nature and discuss different types of pollinators.

 

 You can provide beautiful habitats for pollinators by adding pollinator-friendly plants to your yard and landscape. Enjoy colorful blooms all season long that bring many beautiful butterflies and other pollinators to your yard.

Pollinators are needed for the reproduction of 90% of flowering plants and one third of human food crops. Pollinators include bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, flies, birds, and bats. Each of us depends on pollinators in a practical way to provide us with the wide range of foods we eat. In addition, pollinators are part of the intricate web that supports the biological diversity in natural ecosystems that helps sustain our quality of life. Abundant and healthy populations of pollinators can improve fruit set and quality, and increase fruit size. In farming situations this increases production per acre. In the wild, biodiversity increases and wildlife food sources increase.

 

During the month of January 2025, will be including 2 FREE SEED PACKS with all orders -1 for pollinators and 1 for food.

 

This year, I have chosen Calendula officianalis as the "free-bee-seed" pack. Not only is is beneficial for pollinators, it can deter pests and it can be used for medicinal purposes. That's a win-win!

 

 

Along with 2 free *extra* seed packs, you will also receive a beautiful Calendula postcard with information on the back and a Plant for Pollinators print-out.
