    Not North American and this is to attract any type of bee that is interested. Not exactly a bee expert but I have seen different varieties of them on flowers.

      If you take that approach, trying to attract natives, you’ll also see natural pest control move in. It’s so exciting seeing nature strike a balance

      I did have to intervene and pressure wash the enormous herd of aphids off one of my plants because too many were hidden too deep in the new shoote

        Depends, my garden is small and surrounded by walls so I will never attract hedgehogs. Mainly just insets.
