How can I create a pollinator habitat in my backyard?

Creating a pollinator habitat is a great way to support local wildlife! Start by planting native flowers that bloom at different times.

What types of flowers are best for attracting bees and butterflies?

Some excellent choices include coneflowers, milkweed, and lavender. These plants are particularly attractive to pollinators.

Do I need to provide water for the pollinators?

Yes, providing a shallow water source is beneficial. You can use a birdbath or a small dish with pebbles for them to land on.

How much space do I need to create a pollinator habitat?

Even a small area can be effective! Aim for at least 100 square feet, but larger spaces allow for more diversity.
