Our pollinator garden was made possible with the generous support of AARP and contains a variety of pollinator-friendly plants. It was created using untreated hemlock and organic compost and soil to allow for butterflies, bees and other pollinators to safely habitate. Dead flower heads and stems are left on the plants to provide overwintering sites for immature insects. Scroll down to read about the plants in the garden, as well as some of the pollinators that may visit.<\/h5>\n

What is a pollinator? <\/strong>A pollinator is an insect or other animal that moves pollen from the male to female part of a flower. According to Cornell University, eighty percent of plants need insects for pollination, so their health is very important. Many species of butterflies, bees, beetles, moths, wasps, flies, and hummingbirds are pollinators. A variety of plants are needed to provide nectar as food and shelter for pollinators.
