Creating a Pollinator Garden

According to the USDA, three-fourths of the world’s flowering plants and about 35 percent of the world’s food crops depend on animal pollinators to reproduce. Bees, butterflies and moths, birds and bats, and beetles and other insects require specific plants to provide the food they need in order to survive and pollinate the food we need.
