“Everyone’s future flies on the wings of pollinators.” According to the US Forest Service, the human race cannot survive without abundant pollinators. More than three-quarters of the food we eat, meat included, depends on the work of these industrious eco-heroes. Now they need our help.
With these simple actions, you can help pollinators thrive and promote regeneration in your garden.
First, grow pollinator-friendly native flowers in your landscape. We have noticed lots of bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds in our garden since we added monkeyflower, blackberry, and ceanothus plants. Outside of our garden, we have beautiful manzanita, white sage, Douglas iris, and huckleberry plants that attract pollinators, and are both drought-tolerant and deer-resistant. White sage, pictured above, is a favorite of bees and hummingbirds.
