Plant nectar and pollen-rich flowers in your garden
It's best to choose a wide range of shapes, colors, and sizes of flowers. Also try and plan so that your flowers bloom at different times. Aim to fill your garden with local plants for the best results. They are best suited to the climate needs of your area and your local pollinators. Exactly what plants you choose will depend on where you live, but we have a couple of incredible resources for those of you trying to create a water-wise pollinator garden in Utah, where we live.- Red Butte Garden. Their gardens are incredible, and they often host pollinator parties to help educate about our local pollinators. They also have this wonderful gardening info page to help you get your garden going.
- Conservation Garden Park. This is a GREAT choice to help build your garden from local, water-wise plants. They offer classes and other in-person opportunities, and their website is an incredible resource for help with plants, landscaping, and more.
