My garden is full of fleabane flowers in heaping piles. I wonder if that helps native pollinators or if I am providing flowers for honey bees instead.

- Joel_Mckay 7mo agoPlanting a variety of local wild flowers that bloom at different times over summer is the best assistance people can offer the little creatures. Best regards, =3
- skyberrys 7mo agoI actually plant local wildflowers all around the public paths near me, those get much better sunlight than my own garden. I've managed to plant so many golden poppies now that I frequently see strangers stopping to photograph them, I feel so happy when I see it. I had a great patch of lupines going too but some sort of aphid got loose in the thick patch and killed them all. I was so sad. I try to plant other types of flowers in my own garden, it's just that I have 1000's of fleabane and like 200 others, my little corner seems to be perfect for fleabane to thrive.
