Tip of the Month
June promotes the important relationship between plants and pollinators.
Insects that transfer pollen allow plants to produce fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
Ladybugs, ants, flies, bats, beetles, birds, fig wasps, lemurs of Madagascar, moths, snails and even mosquitoes in the wetlands all pollinate.
You can help by leaving dandelions in place and turning your garden space into a paradise for pollinators.
