Wonderful! I’m recreating my small home garden space. We just lost our community garden property here on the central California coast. AND, we are in extreme drought. Trying to keep up my gardening spirit… Thanks for the walk through your inspiring pollinator garden! 🌻🐝💦

I’m loving my native plants, they have more benefits than for pollinators alone. They’re also host plants to caterpillars and have long roots to help with flooding

That was a fun walk through the garden! Those poppies were so pretty.... they're my favorite flower (Icelandic, to be specific). Thanks for sharing!

Add a few butterfly hosts to this mix and you've got a true butterfly garden.
Milkweed for both nectar and Monarchs, nettles, hollyhocks, regional or globe Thistle, Everlasting, pussytoes, Pipevine, Passionvine, and dill will increase butterflies by supporting their larvae

What a beautiful garden!!!!
how do you care for your echinacia flower. Mine has black spots and they dry out so easily.

So beautiful! I’m in zone 9b. Can I plant any of these flowers In October or it’s too late?
