Pollinator Meadow

Native pollinator meadows are a fantastic way to use an open sunny area in your yard to attract pollinators like bumblebees, mason bees, butterflies and hummingbirds.  Pollinator meadows consist of native bunchgrasses that provide structure and swaths of native annual and perennial flowers that bloom throughout the year. Many of the plants referenced here are from the Meadowscaping Handbook, an excellent free community resource for designing, planting and managing an urban meadow.
