🌱 GARDEN TIP OF THE WEEK⁠ Turn Your Lawn Into a Pollinator Haven⁠ ⁠ Yes, traditional lawns get a bad rap—but they don’t have to be ecological dead zones. With a few tweaks, you can turn yours into a low-growing, pollinator-friendly habitat that still handles foot traffic.⁠ ⁠ 🐝 These “bee lawns” mix turfgrass with flowering plants—and according to UMN_Extension, they can attract over 50 native bee species.
