Pollinator Mixes

Over one third of the food we eat is pollinated by bees. There are over 4,000 species of native bees in the United States. When planting a pollinator preserve try to avoid using herbicides and pesticides. Inter-planting native grasses with our pollinator mixes provides a more diverse habitat.

Wildflower plantings are increasingly popular for their beauty and as wildlife habitat. Consider replacing some lawn or underutilized gardens with a wildflower planting. Varieties included in mixes are subject to change depending upon availability.
