Native Plants and Pollinators
What is a pollinator?
A pollinator is anything that helps move pollen from one part of a flower to another. This movement assists in the fertilization process so that the plant can produce seeds and fruit.
Types of pollinators:
- Butterflies
- Moths
- Flies
- Bees
- Wasps
- Beetles
- Hummingbirds
What can i do to help?
- Plant a pollinator garden: Planting clusters of flowers gives pollinators a lot of opportunity to fertilize plants.
- Create a nesting site: Leave an open area of soil for ground-nesters or create a bee box to help shelter native bees
- Offer water sources: Providing a bird bath is a great way to allow pollinators a safe place to drink and bathe.
- Avoid pesticides: Pesticides can be very harmful to pollinators
