Pollinators, Please
Posted on August 23rd, 2009 by GD
A recent issue of Organic Gardening says that you can visit the Pollinator Partnership to learn what plants to add to your garden (U.S. only) to attract beneficial insects and other animals for pollination.
A search by zip code for my urban Northern California garden turned up a regional guide (in PDF format) that is written for the California coastal chaparral forest and shrub province along the Southern California coast. That seems a stretch, but perhaps planting the suggested flora will help restore the chaparral forest over time. If my garden begins a shift southward, I will give up the project entirely.
