Hands down, this is what I always tell my friends as well. Creating a pollinator friendly garden has been important for me since I found how my garden can benefit from certain insects and vise versa. You've explained everything very clear, thank you for the wonderful post.Abby@Gardening Services Londonhttp://www.gardenersserviceslondon.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-89872579164470912292016-06-30T15:36:53.765-05:002016-06-30T15:36:53.765-05:00Great choices.

I am happy to learn that many of the woodies are far more important to insects than flowering plants.

I am working hard to put pollinator plants in my garden and I think it is going pretty well - echinacea, mountain mint, bee balm, joe pye weed, lindera benzoin spicebush, and honeysuckle. So far!commonweederhttp://www.commonweeder.comnoreply@blogger.com
