Keeping your garden bee friendly

Hanging Baskets and Window Boxes If you don’t have a

garden to plant pollinators, add

some window boxes or hanging baskets with pollinator friendly flowers to your windows.

Slow to Mow Reducing the amount you mow your lawn is the most cost effective way to help

reduce a decline in pollinator species.

Plant some Pollinator Friendly Herbs Plant a herb patch in you garden. The following herbs are pollinator friendly and make a great addition to your kitchen for cooking!

Why not leave a patch of grass in your garden that you no longer cut? Bumble bees love a patch or area of long grass to use as a shelter during nesting periods. These patches will also create a short meadow that soon will be blooming with wild flowers and species that pollinators love.
