#SeedSavingExchange - Learn how to create a garden that will attract #NativePollinators with #SeedSaving in mind.
Excerpt:
"Serve Up an Enticing Menu Year-Round
Flowering plants supply #pollinators like #bees and #butterflies with essential pollen and nectar. #PollinatorFriendly plants also provide a safe shelter for our hard-working insect friends. The most important aspect of any pollinator garden is diversity. Because pollinators are active from April to October, make sure you have a colorful array of continuously blooming flowers from early spring through fall and keep your plants free of pesticides, fungicides, and insecticides.
Plants should be selected based on the space they will occupy. Specifically, consider your space’s soil type, sun exposure, and moisture levels.
You may also choose to select plant species to support specific pollinators.
- To help monarch butterflies, include #milkweeds and high-quality nectar plants like blazingstars.
- To support #Bumblebees, include plants like #WildBergamot, #hyssop, and #goldenrod.
- #Sunflowers offer not only a supportive perch but also seeds to help attract #hummingbirds and other feathered friends to your garden. #Honeysuckles are also a great way to attract hummingbirds.To ensure that the pollinators will have something to forage from spring through fall, select various natives that flower at different times throughout the growing season. Choosing plants with a variety of flower colors and shapes will also help attract an assortment of insects of a variety of sizes and foraging habits. Larger clusters of a plant species are better for attracting pollinators than several smaller clusters in and around the garden space."

[PDF] How To Construct a Study, All Wood #MasonBee House
by Don Harper
"The construction method described below is based on a presentation made by Lawrence County Master Gardener Dave Hughes in 2007. The construction process can obviously be modified, depending on the availability of power
tools and the preference for using one piece of 4x6 wood instead of two pieces of 2x6. Construction, once you are
familiar with the process, requires about a day. Waiting for glue to dry is the only part of the process that really slows
down construction."Given the diminution of populations of honeybees due to colony collapse disorder, it is hoped that everyone with a
garden will make at least one of these houses available for mason bees in which to lay eggs. This will lead to the next generation of bees, and over time increase the population of these #NativePollinators."Learn more:
