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.
