Gardening for Pollinators (JCCL)

Specific flowering (nectar) plants support adult butterflies and native host plants provide food for growing caterpillars. Bees also have special relationships with native plants and use plants that match their size, mouth parts, and landing strategies.
If you understand a little bit about pollinator’s behavior, habitats, and association with plants, you can attract butterflies to your yard and help to preserve their habitat.
Plants and planting strategies are discussed.
