• Plant nectar and pollen-providing plants that bloom throughout the season, especially in early spring and late autumn. We provide resources to help you with this! These can be native plants supporting your ecosystem as well as non-invasive introduced species.
• Provide nesting sites via permanent plantings and by leaving dead stems, bare ground, and tree stumps/snags, or by offering bee houses.
• Reduce or eliminate the use of pesticides, and eliminate pesticides that are harmful to pollinators. Use Integrated Pest Management (IPM).

• Opportunity to purchase a BFG sign showing that your garden is supporting pollinators.

• Invitation to the BFG iNaturalist Project to monitor pollinator visits.
