May 30, 2022

Welcome to Garden Angels, your go-to resource for creating stunning native pollinator gardens. As a category leader in Home and Garden - Gardening, we, American Pond & Gardens, are dedicated to helping you design and maintain the perfect habitat for local pollinators.

Why Native Pollinator Gardens Matter

Native pollinator gardens are not only visually appealing, but they also play a crucial role in supporting the environment. By planting native plants, you attract and sustain local pollinators such as bees, butterflies, and birds, ensuring the health and diversity of our ecosystem.

Unlike non-native plants, native species have evolved alongside local pollinators over thousands of years, creating a mutually beneficial relationship. Native plants provide essential food sources and shelter for pollinators, while pollinators help in the dispersal of plant pollen, enabling their reproduction and growth.

Creating Your Native Pollinator Garden

Designing a native pollinator garden requires careful planning and consideration of various factors. Our team at Garden Angels has the expertise and knowledge to guide you through every step of the process.

1. Site Evaluation

Before starting your pollinator garden, it's important to assess the site conditions. Factors such as sunlight exposure, soil type, and existing plant species influence the success of your garden. Our experts will conduct a thorough evaluation and provide recommendations tailored to your specific situation.

2. Plant Selection

Choosing the right plants is crucial for attracting a diverse range of pollinators. Our extensive knowledge of native plant species will ensure that your garden provides a continuous source of nectar and pollen throughout the seasons. We will recommend a variety of plants, including wildflowers, shrubs, and trees, that are well-suited to your region.

3. Garden Layout

The strategic layout of your garden can enhance its attractiveness to pollinators. By grouping plants with similar blooming patterns and colors, you can create foraging destinations that are easily identifiable for pollinators. We will assist you in creating a design that maximizes pollinator activity while maintaining aesthetic appeal.

4. Maintenance and Care

Once your native pollinator garden is established, it is important to provide ongoing maintenance to ensure its longevity. Our experts will provide you with guidelines on watering, pruning, and pest control, helping you maintain a healthy and vibrant ecosystem in your own backyard.
