This week we’d rename the present Pollinator Haven, the podcast the place we dig into the colourful world of pollinators and the vegetation that maintain them! Properly, in all probability not, however we can be diving into the important function host vegetation play in supporting bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and different pollinators. These are species which might be important in offering locations for bugs to put their eggs and meals for hungry larvae. Whether or not you’re a seasoned gardener or simply beginning out, you’ll uncover how choosing the proper vegetation can flip your yard, balcony, or neighborhood area right into a thriving ecosystem.
