Lonely garden seeking pollinator plants



Our garden is looking great, but we've got lots of squash that needs to be pollinated and not enough pollinators! We'd like to surround our garden with deer-resistant, drought-resistant plants that attract bees and butterflies. Plants like Blue Mist Spirea, Russian Sage, and gold Yarrow -- plants that grow easily in our neighborhood and would attract pollinators to our garden.

Do you have some deer-resistant, drought-resistant plants in your yard that need to be split? Or would you be willing to take some cuttings from your easy-care plants and get them rooting for us? If you have plants you could share (or if you want to purchase some and donate them to the garden), email us at foothillsgarden(at)gmail.com to make arrangements! We'd love to get these plants in the ground by late August or early September or even early next spring when you're re-arranging your garden.
