2. What is a pollinator garden?  A pollinator garden is designed to provide nectar and pollen sources to pollinators (butterflies, bees and others) throughout the growing season.  Plants are planted in clumps rather than single plants to better attract pollinators.  Native plants are used when possible because they will attract more native pollinators.  Native plants can serve as hosts for larvae of some pollinators.  A variety of flower colors and shapes attract different pollinators – variety is the spice of life!
