It may seem obvious but in order to increase the number of pollinators and insects in your garden, it is important to increase the number of flowers. The more flowers a garden can offer throughout the year, the greater the number of bees, butterflies, and other pollinating insects.
Why not plan a small area for cutting flowers? Not only will it attract pollinators, it will also create a patchwork of colour and flowers for cutting and displaying in your home.
All you need is a small area of bare soil where you can plant seedlings in neat rows. Seeds can be planted directly into the soil from the end of April. Once established in June/July, the more you cut, the more flowers will grow and therefore even more pollinators!
