Flowers

Beautiful flowers serve as perfect table centerpieces, and a simple vase of blooms can instantly brighten any room. In a garden setting, flowers attract bees, who are drawn most effectively to blue, purple, and yellow blossoms, though all colors are beneficial. The sweet and minty scents emanating from these flowers lure pollinators from a distance.

Bees aren't the only insects that appreciate flowers—consider the beautiful butterflies. Their distinct colors and patterns are a delightful sight as they flit from bloom to bloom, inadvertently moving pollen. Indeed, butterflies play a crucial role in assisting your garden's ecosystem.

As gardeners, we aim to provide bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects with the pollen they need. These insects, in turn, pollinate our vegetable plants, helping them grow and produce a successful harvest of fruit. You can support this process by planting favorites like Marigolds, Zinnias, and Echinacea. Plant your garden with intention, and welcome the pollinators right in!
