            A garden is a busy place.


Butterflies, moths, bats, hummingbirds,  bees and
other floral visitors move among the
blossoms spreading pollen from flower to flower.

        This is called  “pollination.”

Flowers need the pollen to produce fruit and seeds.

At least 80% of plant life on our  planet is dependent on these
fragile little creatures. Without  pollinators, our food supply
would end... along with much of the beauty in the world.
