Pollinators are our friends, and a vital part of our ecosystem. The plants you choose can make a world of difference to them.

Welcoming these tiny, lovely creatures into your green space and watching them interact with your plants is one of the most fascinating and rewarding aspects of gardening.

Being cold-blooded creatures, pollinators tend to favour spots that are in the sun at least six hours a day. More sunshine equals more vital energy!
