Offering a selection of easy-to-grow flowers, herbs, and vegetables that provide food for our vital insect pollinators is simple, satisfying, and environmentally sound.
Bees and other pollinators feed on a variety of flowers, vegetables, herbs, and fruits. While there are many pollinator friendly options to consider, here are just a few easy-to-grow plants that thrive in the Massachusetts area and provide beneficial habitat for our bees.

Supporting the local bee population offers homeowners multiple benefits. Both bees and people love flowers (a win-win) and attracting honey bees to your garden bed or potted plant landscape can noticeably increase vegetable and herb harvest.
