Pollinators in the Garden

June 15 - 21, 2015 has been designated National Pollinator Week by the U.S. Department of Agriculture; this is a great time to think about how to attract more pollinators to our gardens.  Pollinators are necessary for the production of many food crops and provide a vital service to the survival of many native plants.  We can thank pollinators for one in three mouthfuls of food and drink – from coffee and chocolate to most fruits and many vegetables we eat.  Choosing plants that provide the necessary habitat and food sources for birds, bats, butterflies, moths, beetles, wasps, small mammals and most importantly bees can increase the number of pollinators in your garden.
