There are many ways you can support pollinators
It is not just through plant choice that you do this. The way you maintain your garden is also very important. There is more information about this on the Gardening for Nature page.
The page about Planting for Pollinators describes how I chose plants for our garden and has various downloadable planting lists.
If you want to know how to make a bee hotel, a structure designed to house tube-nesting solitary bees and solitary wasps, I provide instructions. This web page can also be downloaded as a pdf.
