Bee Friendly Plants – My Garden

Here are some pictures from my summer 2017 garden of plants that attract bees and other pollinators.

Pictured above are:

• Autumn Sunflowers
• Black-eyed Susan
• French Lavender
• Cucumber plants
• Catmint
• Lemon Balm, Basil, and other herbs

In the mid-Atlantic, all of my flowers are in full bloom in late July and early August.

Here are some links that I have found helpful in my search for creating a sustainable garden.

• Mother Earth News: How to Attract Native Bees to your garden
• Dengarden: 10 Plants That Attract Bees to Your Food Garden

I would love to hear more from you, I will add more posts and photos as the summer goes on…
