The Art of Planting for Pollinators: Why Native Plants Matter

At Glenraven Nursery, we're committed to enhancing biodiversity through thoughtful plant selection, particularly focusing on native plants that play a critical role in supporting local wildlife, including pollinators like bees, butterflies, and birds.

Importance of Native Plants

Native plants are invaluable in ecological gardening because they are adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, making them more resilient and easier to care for. They provide essential food and shelter for wildlife, helping to maintain biodiversity.

Choosing the Right Plants

Incorporating native plants into your garden isn’t just about choosing any native species; it’s about selecting the right plants that will thrive in your specific garden conditions. This ensures they grow well and attract more pollinators, enhancing your garden’s health and ecological balance.

Benefits to Pollinators

By planting native species, you create a haven for pollinators, which are crucial for the pollination of many fruits and vegetables. These plants offer the nutrients pollinators need to survive and thrive, bolstering their populations and contributing to a healthier ecosystem.
