Designing a Pollinator Garden

Iowa Master Gardeners released a YouTube video on designing A Place for Pollinators, presented by Lexi Young of Iowa State University Department of Industrial Design.  As gardeners, we often escape the pressures, the noise, and the monotony of the world by heading into our gardens. We aren’t the only ones. The gardens we tend provide refuge for countless bees, bugs, and birds. With a few thoughtful garden choices, you can play host to these pollinators and enjoy the bumbling of bees, the warble of bird song, and the magic of fireflies.  For a PDF copy of Lexi's plant list, visit the Master Gardener website.
