5 Steps to Planting a Pollinator Garden in Wisconsin

In honor of #PollinatorWeek, we’re sharing five simple steps to create your own pollinator garden here in Wisconsin. Follow along as the Natural Resources Foundation of Wisconsin's Communications Director follows these 5 steps to create a pollinator garden in her yard. Pollinators need a variety of native plants to survive. Habitat loss, pesticide use, and the overabundance of grass lawns have taken a toll on pollinators and their habitat. But thankfully, there are a variety of ways we can all help provide more plants for pollinators. Whether you have a community garden, apartment balcony, yard, or multiple acres, you have the power to help bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Need some recommendations for Wisconsin pollinator plants? Here are some NRF staff picks to get you started: Swamp milkweed (more well-behaved than common milkweed and is better for smaller spaces) New Jersey tea Leadplant Rattlesnake master Anise hyssop Pale purple coneflower Native aster species Native goldenrod species Wild columbine Cardinal flower Bee balm TIP: Try to select plants that flower in every season! You want spring, summer and fall bloomers so that pollinators have nectar resources throughout the growing season.
