World Wildlife Day
Happy World Wildlife Day!
Want to support more wildlife in your garden? Grow a diverse range of flowering herbs and vegetables to attract lots of wildlife like birds, pollinators and beneficial insects to help naturally with pest control. Check out our Pollinator Garden Seed Bundle for an easy way to get started.
Expand your culinary journey and wildlife-supporting garden with our Pollinator Seeds Garden Bundle, featuring six must-have pollinator flowers: Basil, Cilantro, Dill, Oregano, Scarlet Runner Bean, Sunflower, and Zinnia seeds. Perfect for both beginner and experienced gardeners, this bundle offers everything you need to create a thriving pollinator garden.
When these plants bloom they attract lots of pollinators to your garden! Zinnias and Sunflowers are bumblebee magnets, and the blooms of Basil, Cilantro and Dill attract various bees and also provide pollen for ladybugs, lacewings, minute pirate bugs, parasitic wasps, syrphid flies, soldier beetles, and tachinid flies. Oregano attract lots of beneficial insects like predatory wasps and ladybugs. The beautiful red blooms of Scarlet Runner Beans and Zinnias attract Hummingbirds, and the beans produce beautiful mottled purple and black beans that we like to call "magic beans" as they are so pretty! Kids love them. Attracting hummingbirds to your garden is great as not only do they enjoy the nectar of flowers, they also hunt for small insects like gnats, fruit flies, mosquitoes, aphids, and spiders, helping keep everything in check.
Dill attracts lots of beneficial insects to your garden, including predatory ladybugs, green lacewings, hoverflies, and tachinid flies which all help manage aphids, spider mites, and whiteflies. Dill's nectar-rich, umbrella-like flowers make for easy landings and are a magnet for pollinators and it serves as a host plant for beautiful Swallowtail butterflies. Dill grows very easy and abundantly, so there is always plenty to share with the cute Swallowtail caterpillars. The blooms of dill are great for making spicy pickles!
