“Bee” Pollinator Friendly
There is still time to “bee“ pollinator friendly and plant pollinators’ favorite food sources and host plants in your garden this year.
What could you add to your garden? The photo below shows the Village of Garden City’s Pollinator Garden at the corner of Stewart and Hilton Avenues, which was planted for Earth Day 2025. Some of the plants are already blooming: the pink Veronica on the right and the row of Vinca in the front. If you saw the Pollinator Garden over the past 6 weeks you’ll also notice that all of the plants are flourishing. There are signs to help you identify each plant.
Plants in the Pollinator Garden for you to consider are Butterfly Bush (perennials); Milkweed (food and host where monarchs lay their eggs) and Sedum (perennial). Other perennials and food sources are echinacea, yarrow and coneflower. The multi-colored Vinca in the front are annuals.
