Over the years I have learned to plant native shrubs and trees as they need less care. They thrive naturally in their environment and the pollinators are alive and well here!

On the importance of pollinator gardens
LGBTQ were protesting yesterday on the grand opening of Chick-Fil-A in downtown Toronto yesterday.
One of my sisters who lives in California sent me this poster on the need for pollinator gardens. I thought I would share this valuable information with you. We need pollinators such as birds, bees, bats, beetles and other insects. One in every three bites of our food is due to pollinators, they are essential links to our food chain. Pollinators need habitat to survive, they are in decline. They need specific native plants to survive, not non native shrubs and trees.

Hi Christine thats good that you have lots of pollinators,we have planted lots of lavender bushes around our fruit trees to attract the bees xx
ReplyDeleteWell said Christine. Pollinators are vital to each and everyones' wellbeing. Planting native shrubs and trees makes so much sense doesn't it :D)💝
ReplyDeleteThis is most important. If we want to keep the birds and bees and our food more people need to plant the right things. Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteI usually plant flowers that attract bees and other insects. I have a very small area where I can use but I just love seeing butterflies and bees around.
ReplyDeleteThat is really important, we need bees and other insects so much☺
ReplyDeletePollinators are vital to each and everyones' wellbeing :/
ReplyDeleteGood point you made.
ReplyDeleteInteresting - thanks for that!
ReplyDeleteOur local garden centers here in Oregon encourage residents to plant native species, and they make people understand the reasoning behind it.
ReplyDeleteA great public service here, Christine, with the information on pollinators:) Great post!
Our yard is full of pollinators for the gardens I am happy to say...including the bats 💮🐝🐦💮
ReplyDeleteThey still fly around us here.
ReplyDeleteThere no chick o fill here and if they were I wouldn't go.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on
Pollinator gardens need to be encouraged everywhere.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
Interesting information you've shared here. Thanks for the enlightenment on pollinator gardens, it's good to know.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a wonderful Saturday Night!
This is so interesting Christine, I am putting together a post on a pollinator hotel I saw in one of the gardens we went to recently. Happy Sunday to you and have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you involve in the conservation efforts....God bless you
ReplyDeleteChickfila really just needs to stick to fast food and leave religion and politics out of it.
ReplyDeleteThis is very good to think about. I just read an article about how we get a lot of our produce from the southern hemisphere where they don't have as strict regulations on the use of pesticides and the pollinator birds are dying by the thousands. Very scary.
