STEP 6 - ATTRACTING POLLINATORS

broken image

Pollination is a key element to the successful production of fruits and veggies, and Essential Oils can help us attract those beneficial pollinators that make our garden abundant.

Making a simple spray using Essential Oils and spraying on blossoms can encourage more visitors—which means more fruit!

Geranium, Roman Chamomile, Wild Orange, Basil, Rosemary, Clary Sage, and Lavender can all be used aromatically to attract pollinators, bees especially. Lavender and Fennel attract butterflies to your garden.
