We all know that the small pollinators of our ecosystem are under enormous pressure. For that reason we are trying to plant as many flowering plants as possible that will provide nectar and sustenance for them throughout the spring and summer.
In Spring, our Sage bushes are a mass of flowers that invite pollinators of every size including local honey bees, masonry bees and butterflies all the way up to the magnificent hummingbird butterfly as pictured behind. All summer the lavender is in bloom and behind the house the honeysuckle should provide constant nourishment.
Enjoy watching them as they busily pollinate and provide for the next generation of plants in our beautiful corner of the island.
