Start planning a
pollinator garden
Throughout the month | Statewide
This month, start thinking about your budget and
where, when and what to plant. Most pollinator
plants are full-sun, some will grow bigger than
others, and some are better suited to diff erent
areas of the state. Visit pollinator.org/guides for
suggestions. Make sure the species you choose
produce pollen and nectar and will provide fl owers
throughout the growing season.
