What are pollinator gardens?

Pollinator gardens are green spaces filled with plants and flowers that are specifically chosen to help pollinators. Pollinator gardens serve as habitats for these essential creatures by providing them with nectar, pollen, and shelter.

It's more important than ever to help pollinator species like butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds. These animals help plants grow flowers and food - without pollinators you wouldn't have tomatoes, peppers, or peaches!

Unfortunately, pollinator populations in the United States have declined dramatically in recent years: the Monarch butterfly is now an endangered species as its numbers have fallen by up to 90% and honeybee populations decline by up to 50% each year. 

That's where pollinator gardens come in. Pollinator gardens are a simple, easy way for you to provide food, habitat, and a safe resting space for these critical species.

Benefits of pollinator gardens

Get started

  • Good for you

    Improve your health: Spending time in green spaces and pollinator gardens can have therapeutic benefits for humans, reducing stress and promoting well-being.


    Beautify your surroundings: Pollinator gardens are aesthetically pleasing and can enhance the visual appeal of residential, urban, and public spaces. They offer an opportunity to create vibrant, colorful landscapes.


    Promote engagement and learning: Pollinator gardens provide educational opportunities for people of all ages to learn about the importance of pollinators and the role they play in ecosystems and food production. They can also foster a sense of community and shared responsibility for environmental stewardship.

  • Good for pollinators

    Biodiversity Support: Pollinator gardens attract a diverse array of insects, birds, and other wildlife, contributing to local biodiversity and creating a healthier and more resilient ecosystem.


    Pollination Services: Bees, butterflies, and other pollinators play a crucial role in the reproduction of many plant species, including a variety of food crops. By providing a habitat for these pollinators, pollinator gardens enhance crop pollination and increase agricultural yields.


    Food Production: Increased pollination from the presence of pollinators can lead to larger and more productive harvests of fruits, vegetables, and nuts, benefiting local food production and supporting agricultural communities.

  • Good for the environment

    Carbon Sequestration: Plants in pollinator gardens capture and store carbon dioxide, contributing to carbon sequestration and helping mitigate climate change.


    Reduced Pesticide Use: A thriving pollinator garden can reduce the need for chemical pesticides, as a healthy ecosystem with natural predators and pollinators can help control pests.
