Feel the buzz of a bee pollinated garden!
Of all of the creatures we share our gardens with, bees are our best buzzing buddies! They make the garden feel alive, and more importantly, pollinate our plants. Playing vital step in the ecosystem for virtually every Summer crop and flowering plant, we should treat our furry friends to a tasty garden.

Bees are looking for pollen & nectar from plants.
Choosing Plants
Some flowers can be better than others, however, a plant with a visible centre are popular.
Bees Favourites
Some of bees favourite plants are lavender, eryngium, echinacea & verbina. Full of nectar with lots of little flowers for a sturdy landing spot.
Plant Together
Consider bees when laying out your beds, plant bee-friendly flowers near each other for easy pollination and no lost bees.
