Using Native Plants to Support our Pollinators

Pollinators such as bees, bats, butterflies, birds, and other insects are essential players in sustaining a healthy environment and ecosystem and are vital contributors to our agricultural sector.

 

There is widespread global concern for declining populations and the overall health of native pollinators such as bees. Factors such as exposure to pesticides, destruction of natural habitats, and climate change are all factors that pose threats to our native pollinators. Without bees and other pollinators, our agriculture sector and environment would be in big trouble!

The Best Annuals for Sun

Ideal for filling in sunny spots in any container or garden bed, these annuals will thrive in an area that has direct sun for five or more hours.

To get the most out of your sun loving annuals, add our water-soluble Parkwood® Flower Plant Food 15-30-15 fertilizer every two weeks. It’s high in phosphorus so your plants will grow strong roots and vibrant blooms. Do not forget to water at the base of the plant regularly!
