Flowering Plants
Flowering plants can attract the 4 “B”s
Bees ~ Birds ~ Bugs ~ Butterflies
These creatures are great for our garden because they help pollinate flowering plants (like apples and cherries), and they look cool!
If you want to add flowers to your garden
* Don’t use pesticides
* Get flowers that cluster and are lots of different colors – butterflies like pink and purple, hummingbirds like red
* Plant them in the sun!
* Plant native plants, like this ceanothus we planted (below)!
* Find plants that flower different times of year
