Pollinators Need Wildflowers tee, Nature t-shirt for conservation, ecology, Environmental science gift for ecological teachers, gardeners

A large part of pollinator decline is our refusal to sunset horrible chemicals like Roundup and other neonicotinoids. Another is our refusal to simply let go of the conforming pressure to grow dull, lifeless lawns instead of vibrant flower plots. Any flower is more beneficial than a blade of grass, but some us know the deeper truth. The bougie Frankenflowers developed in the last 50 years are not a great resource for our pollinator friends. Hundreds if not 1000s of years of evolution have happened IN TANDEM between our pollinators and their native flora. A blue hydrangea that originated in England is almost useless to an American wild bee, but that milkweed in the ditch is priceless.

I personally am happy to grow all kinds of flowers and my non-native hollyhocks are huge hit with the bee ladies, so this isn't a purism rant, believe me. But the hummingbirds, butterflies, and the bees could not get enough of my False Indigo and when you watch, you understand why. They were made for each other, carefully over time, they created a symbiotic oneness. It's super cool.
