Happy World Bee Day! 🐝
Pollinator-friendly landscapes aren’t just important for home gardeners, they play a critical role in how we plan parks, streetscapes, pedestrian pathways, campuses, and community spaces that support healthy ecosystems and biodiversity.
In her blog, Emily Gardner, RLA, explores how thoughtful landscape design can create meaningful pollinator habitats.
Did you know? Pollinators choose forage plants based on color, shape, scent, nectar, and pollen production, and not all pollinators are attracted to the same plants.
🐝 Bees are especially drawn to white, yellow, blue, and even ultraviolet colors.
From municipal planning to public space design, incorporating pollinator-supportive landscapes can help communities create spaces that are both beautiful and ecologically beneficial.
