planting native flowering plants like Hibiscus and Marigold can be very effective. These plants are well-suited to the local climate and are favorites among pollinators.

You should also consider creating a water source. A shallow dish filled with water or a small birdbath can attract bees and butterflies, especially during hot days.

Avoiding chemical pesticides is crucial. These can harm pollinators. Instead, try using organic methods to manage pests in your garden.

Planting in clusters is a good strategy. Grouping the same types of flowers together makes it easier for pollinators to find them, which increases their chances of visiting your garden.

I’ve heard that growing herbs like Basil, Thyme, and Lavender can also attract pollinators. Plus, you can use these herbs in your cooking!

Consider adding some butterfly-friendly plants like Milkweed and Lantana. These are especially attractive to butterflies and can add some vibrant colors to your garden.

Providing shelter is another way to keep pollinators in your garden. You can place some rocks or logs around, or even build a small bee hotel for solitary bees.

Try planting some night-blooming flowers like Jasmine or Moonflower to attract moths, which are also important pollinators, especially during the evening.

Keeping your garden blooming year-round by planting a variety of flowers that bloom in different seasons ensures that pollinators always have a reason to visit your garden.
