Brie's Pollinator Garden: Adding Flowers and How to Find Them

                                     Welcome back everyone! Hope you've enjoyed these last blog posts! Today I'm going to talk about the types of flowers I'll be putting in my garden and how I found the right ones. Let's get started!

                                   If you didn't read my last blog post (which you should totally check out) I mentioned that I am putting my garden in a swale. Since this type of area is on different levels, the type of soil is slightly different. When I was researching types of plants, I looked for three types, plants adapted to wet soil, plants adapted to dry soil, and plants that can adapt to both wet and dry soils. I decided to sort of divide my garden up into three sections for the the three types of soil. I divided my garden up even more so I know how many plants I wanted.

                                  I was able to get all my plants donated by two plant nurseries: Pinelands Nursery and New Moon Nursery. I got a total of 200 plants from both nurseries (not 200 plants from each nursery).

                                   Hope you enjoyed this blog post! See you next time!
