Pollinator Gardens
Most of our native plants are great for pollinators. However, there are some plants that seem to attract a wide variety of pollinators. It is important to remember that some pollinators are specialists, meaning they only gather pollen and nectar from certain flowers, while others are generalists and will go to whatever source of pollen and nectar they can find. But even our generalist pollinators love certain plants that pack a punch when it comes to food!
