Most types of plants must be fertilized in order to produce seeds, flowers, and/or fruit. However, since plants remain fixed in one position, they can’t share pollen themselves, so they require the services of a pollinator. In nature, there are several animal and insect species that pollinate plants. Some of these include bees, moths, hummingbirds, and butterflies. Without sufficient pollination, plants struggle to thrive and may even die out. But the pollinators have also experienced great suffering over the years due to misuse of chemicals, an increase in the planting of invasive plant species, and loss of habitat.
Providing a space where pollinators want to come can help to improve the health of your landscaping elements, creating a more beautiful and functional outdoor space. Many property owners are planting pollinator gardens to encourage pollinators to visit their properties and provide the necessary pollination to the various plants. At Garden Environments, we design and plant pollinator gardens for those located in the Raleigh, North Carolina area. Since we focus heavily on incorporating native plants into our designs, our services can attract pollinators and boost the health of plants, shrubs, and trees.
Pollinator gardens need native plants because they have evolved alongside the pollinators in the area, adapting to the local climate conditions, growing season, and soil conditions. When we add beautiful indigenous plants to your property, you’ll be amazed at how well they do. If you’re interested in pollinator gardens and how they can benefit your property, don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

FAQs About Pollinator Gardens
Pollinator gardens have so much to offer your property and the local ecosystem. Check out the FAQs below to learn more about pollinator gardens, and schedule a consultation if you would like our team to create one for you.
Why should I choose Garden Environments to design my pollinator garden?
We may not be the only landscaping company that designs pollinator gardens, but we do have a unique philosophy that sets our pollinator gardens apart. Our approach is to ensure at least 70% of the garden’s biomass is native plants. According to the Smithsonian, this is what is required to have a bird habitat. We also work with you to select a wide variety of plants in a wide variety of colors. Different pollinators see different light spectra, so a variety of colors helps to attract more of them.
How do you make sure pollinator gardens look beautiful all year?
We plant a wide variety of native species that bloom in different seasons (spring, summer, fall), so your garden will remain beautiful throughout the year.
Should I avoid using pesticides in my pollinator garden?
Yes, you should definitely not use pesticides in a pollinator garden since the chemicals can harm the insects and animals that visit it. We will teach you how to maintain your pollinator garden without relying on pesticides. In addition, because we use native plants that have adapted to defend themselves against local pests and diseases, there is no need for pesticides in the first place.
