Pollinator Garden
Pollinator Garden Project
Full Sun Project
Project Time: 4-6 Hours
Beneficial insects help pollinator our plants and eat other bad insects that can damage our gardens. This garden bed design features some of the favorite plants of ladybugs, butterflies and hummingbirds! Bonus: many of the blooms will last well into fall, for a long-lasting garden. This garden is approximately 10 feet by 5 feet.
