Pollinator Corridor 


Native Pollinator Corridors
Native plant corridors attract pollinators and wildlife to various areas by stretching across lands to connect your piece of native habitat to nearby meadows, wetlands or woodlands. This creates a much larger area for native pollinators to forage, raise young and migrate.
Corridors may run along a road, between fields, in hedgerows, on the edge of a forest.  Create a Pollinator Corridor simply by a simple ethos
Dont Mow let it Grow

Wildlife friendly Shrub Bed
Do Not Cut Back!
Leave all Flowers and seed heads on Shrubs to Feed Bird During
Winter
Sign:
“Don’t Prune me, Cause I will Feed the Birds this Winter”

Examples of great Shrubs would be ;
 Leycesteria Pheasant Berry, Cotoneaster, Rosehip, Crategus

Insects are an integral part of a successful garden. Some beneficial insects can actually help control and reduce the populations of detrimental insects, and many are responsible for the pollination of flowers, both ornamental and for food crops. By providing these insects with inviting homes, you can help promote their wellbeing and contribute to increasing their numbers. When spring arrives, you’ll have all the pollintors on hand that you need and many of your guests will devour the unwanted pests in your garden, getting the season off to a good start.
