When spring finally arrives, it can feel like every garden is suddenly bursting to life – but that isn't always the case. In fact, gardening experts often talk about the 'pollinator hunger gap': at this time of year, plants aren't quite flowering yet, but pollinators like butterflies and bees are desperate for nectar.
This shortage of pollen sources can be detrimental to insects, leaving your garden a little sparse. It sounds disheartening, but there is a solution. In my view, in fact, there's only one plant you really need to bridge the hunger gap: dandelions.
