The Best Flowers to Attract Bees and Butterflies in 2025
Share
🌸 Why Pollinators Matter
Bees and butterflies are the quiet heroes of every garden. 🐝🦋
They help plants reproduce, increase crop yields, and keep ecosystems thriving.
But due to habitat loss and pesticides, their numbers are declining.
By planting the right flowers, you can turn your garden into a safe, thriving refuge for them—and fill it with color and life. 🌿
At Earth Bloom Garden, we believe beauty and biodiversity go hand in hand.
