Create a sanctuary for bees with the best pollinating plants according to a gardening expert

This gardening expert has listed the very best pollinating plants to add to your garden to attract bees, butterflies, and more - and we know where you can shop them without breaking the bank

Pollination is key for plant reproduction, biodiversity, and food production, and fostering a conducive environment for vital insects like bees and butterflies is significant for the local wildlife. Once established, they'll self-seed in the shadier corners of your garden, guaranteeing a constant source of pollen and nectar for bees and other pollinators during the early summer months. Other top pollinating plants that you can add to your garden to elevate its aesthetic while also benefiting the ecosystem include poppies, lavender, crocus, primroses and marigolds.
