Before I show you any pictures, let me remind you–we’ve gone from a wet, cool spring into hot summer! Don’t forget to water your newly planted flowers, trees, and shrubs. That’s all with the lecture, now for blooms, bees, and birds:
Tanacetum niveum SNOW DAISY
Penstemon ‘Rondo’
Knautia macedonica
Achillea ‘Pomegranate’
Bumble bee and Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low.’
Black-chinned hummer on Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low.’
One more thing, when you’re planting for the bees and butterflies, don’t sabotage your efforts by spraying toxic chemicals on your flowers. We never use pesticides on our plants in the garden. The plants in the nursery are grown with pollinators in mind! No neonics! For more information on how to grow bee friendly plants, check out our friends at their organic farm in Canon City: Desert Canyon Farm
