A photo of a small section of native plant garden habitat. In this image you can see royal catchfly, black-eyed susans, hoary vervain, butterflyweed, gray-headed coneflower, and native grasses.

I don't think I ever shared this photo from my #nativegarden from last summer.

🍂 Leave the Leaves!
​Don't rake! Your fallen leaves are free compost & natural mulch. More importantly, they provide vital shelter for overwintering pollinators (bees, butterflies!) and support wildlife.
​Protect your garden ecosystem! 🌳 #LeafLitterLove #SaveThePollinators

I usually have thousands of raspberries blooms first thing in April that attract hundreds of bees per hour! 🐝 #savethepollinators #savetheplanet #savethebees

⚠️ Yet pollinators face threats from deforestation, pesticides and climate change. Without them, coffee could dwindle in quality and supply. Protecting pollinators safeguards ecosystems, livelihoods—and your coffee. 🌍

Took this pic of #bumblebee on a #zinnia this morning. So glad to see #bees around - the #pollinator bed is rocking with the beauties. #SaveTheBees #SaveThePollinators

It's been a disappointing year for butterflies, again. I haven't seen many in my #nativegarden. It used to be common to see five or six at a time.

Enjoy one of the only red-spotted purples I've seen this year, visiting purple coneflowers.
