Pollinator-In-A-Box Kits
Bees, butterflies, and pollination go hand-in-hand. Providing shelter, along with a floral buffet, is the best way to ensure these friendly guests visit your garden season after season. Pollinators prefer native flowering plants that have adapted alongside them over the generations. Locally adapted native plants attract solitary bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Any of these kits would make a great gift or addition to your home garden or business -- and the pollinators will thank you!
