Pollinator Planting Cost Share
Most tend to think pollinator plantings as an area put into a set-aside program consisting of many acres. This is true but not all pollinator plantings have to be of this magnitude. Pollinator habitat plantings can be of any size.
Successful pollination is not dependent on the size or method of the planting but more importantly it’s the variety of the plants to support the array of pollinating insects. Diversity is the key to a good pollinator planting. Growing a mixture of annuals, perennials and even flowering trees and shrubs will help as pollinators are not just bees. Bees share the job of pollinating with birds, animals, wind, water and humans.
