Start a Bee and Butterfly Garden
I know, I know. I tell you guys to plant things all the time, but I can not express how important it is. Bees and butterflies play an essential role in our food supply. If you live in an apartment container gardens are also an option. Here are some plants that pollinators love!
- Coneflower
- Lavender
- Aster
- Bee balm
- Yarrow
- Milkweed
- Goldenrod
- Mint
