All pollinators need help!
Pollinators need flowers to feed on from Spring through to Autumn
Pollinator-friendly plants for YOUR GARDEN
Our pollinating insects are in decline. One third of our bee species are at risk of extinction. By choosing pollen-rich flowers for your garden, you will help provide much needed food for our Bumblebees and other pollinating insects as well as creating a beautiful colourful garden. There are lots of pollinator-friendly plants to choose from.
Planting these will also benefit pollinators:
5 Additional things we can do to help support pollinators
- Maintain native flowering hedgerows
- Allow wildflowers to grow around the farm
- Provide nesting places for wild bees.
- Minimise artificial fertiliser use
- Reduce pesticide inputs
