Pollinator Pockets 

Do  your part to save the pollinators - the bees, butterflies, moths, and  other insects critical to our food supply and human survival.

Plant a "pocket" of flowers that attract and nurture pollinators in your  own yard.  The pollinator pockets described on this site will make it  easy to select, plant and maintain.

You may not realize that manicured lawns, exotic plantings, and enticing  hybrids and cultivars often provide no value to pollinators.  By  placing pollinator pockets into your landscape, you provide an oasis for  pollinators.  Now that's sweet!
