Pollinator Garden
Most of my property gets little sun. After several storms removed trees, a small sunny area opened. It still only gets about 4 hours of direct sun but that is more than it had before. I have planted native azaleas and other flowering shrubs. The raised beds have a variety of pollinator plants, some that came from the Redbud Project Native plant sale. Others came from seed heads that I collected when walking with my dog in the neighborhood.
