Plant Bulbs
Planting bulbs in home gardens provides valuable benefits for wildlife, especially in early spring when food is scarce. Their nectar-rich flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, offering an essential energy source after winter. Some bulbs produce seeds that birds eat, while their foliage shelters insects and small creatures. Early-flowering varieties help sustain wildlife when few other plants are blooming, supporting the ecosystem’s delicate balance. Even in small spaces, clusters of bulbs create mini-habitats, boosting biodiversity. By planting a mix of bulbs, gardeners provide year-round interest while helping insects, birds, and other wildlife thrive.
