Habitat opportunities abound on every landscape – from window boxes to acres of farms to corporate campuses to utility and roadside corridors – every site can be habitat.
Utilize plants native to your area (or at the least, non-invasive for your area).
Know your soil type and select appropriate plant material.
Plant in clusters to create a "target' for pollinators to find.
Plant for continuous bloom throughout the growing season from spring to fall.
Select a site that is removed from wind, has at least partial sun, and can provide water.
Allow material from dead branches and logs remain as nesting sites; reduce mulch to allow patches of bare ground for ground-nesting bees to utilize; consider installing wood nesting blocks for wood-nesting natives.
This registry will show profiles of the plants used in various gardens, allow us to measure pollinator progress, and highlight areas of activity and places in need of pollinator action
