Pollinators such as butterflies, native bees, moths, beetles, and other species are in decline and need our help. Planting pollinator gardens will help pollinators thrive, so we wanted to share some native plant resources before we kick off the 9th Annual Texas Pollinator BioBlitz next week.
- Need tips on what to plant in your region to create your own pollinator playground? Create pollinator-friendly plant lists by region with this tool from the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
