If we didn't have pollinators Fiona wouldn't have her favorite snacks like watermelon, cucumbers, and squash. But pollinators aren’t just for fruits and veggies…in fact, 75% of the crops humans eat rely on pollinators. Pistachios, almonds, quinoa, rice…if it grows on a plant, it needs pollinators! Today bees, butterflies, and many other insects are declining in abundance. Do your part to help pollinators by planting native pollinator-friendly plants in your flower pots or gardens.
