🐝 It's National Pollinator Month, and pollinators need more than a few weeks of flowers.

By planting a mix of spring, summer, and fall blooming plants, you can provide nectar and pollen throughout the growing season. A garden that blooms across multiple seasons helps support bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other pollinators when they need it most.

Which season is the most colorful in your garden? 🌷🌸🍂

Butterflies, moths, beetles, hummingbirds, and many other animals help move pollen between flowers, supporting healthy gardens, natural habitats, and food production.

Each pollinator plays a unique role in helping plants reproduce and ecosystems thrive.

Which of these pollinators surprised you the most? 🦋🌙🪲🐦

🐝 It's National Pollinator Month, and pollinators do much more than help flowers bloom.

Many of the fruits and vegetables we enjoy depend on pollination, including strawberries, blueberries, apples, cucumbers, pumpkins, and more.

In fact, pollinators play a role in producing roughly one out of every three bites of food we eat.

The next time you enjoy a summer snack, take a moment to thank a pollinator. 🌸🍓🫐🍉🥒🍎🍫

Which pollinator-dependent food is your favorite?
