Weeds: Please don’t PLANT weeds but encourage you to relax about their presence in your landscape. “Weed” plants are some of the most beneficial plants pollinators have access to. (examples: dandelion, thistle, white clover) While it is important to be a responsible steward and eradicate noxious or aggressive weeds, please think twice about removing/ treating those flowering weeds that are generally well behaved. If you think it is pretty, chances are a pollinator will too.
