As the early fall days roll around, us gardeners are busy with preparing our gardens for the coldest months. While you put many of your plants 'to bed' ahead of frost, there's something you should take care not to neglect: pollinators. Bees continue to work hard in your garden during fall and even into winter, so it's important to continue supporting them as you would in spring and summer.
In fact, fall is arguably one of the most important times to attract bees to your garden and offer them support in the form of food and shelter. This is because they're preparing to lay eggs for overwintering – vital to the survival of their species. And there's one particularly valuable resource you can provide at this time of year: native fall flowers.
