I didn’t know our community association had created a pollinator garden a few blocks from our house.
But I happened upon it while out walking recently.
I was curious: What is a pollinator garden?
Online I read that it aims to attract insects, bees, butterflies - and hummingbirds.
This garden was a mix of flowers, herbs and vegetables…
I didn’t notice any humming birds… but a robin was hopping around this pleasant, peaceful space…
Which made me wonder: Don’t all gardens attract pollinators?! Someone once told me that the best way to attract butterflies is to leave a wild space somewhere in the yard - letting natural plants / weeds grow at will…
(I obviously have a lot to learn!)
