Description

Did you know that 90% of all plants require cross-pollination in order to thrive? Cross-pollination occurs when pollen from one blossom is applied to the pistils of another and bees play an important role in that process. As a farm, we rely on bees to pollinate our crops – including our famous blue pumpkins! Given the worldwide decline of bee populations, we feel it’s important to do our part to help save the bees! That’s why we grow tens of thousands of bee-friendly flowers on the farm and have bee-friendly gardens strategically spread around Prairie Gardens.

We’d like to help you save the bees as well – that’s why we’ve created our Bee Garden Packages! Our Trees for the Bees package is designed for larger spaces and would be best-suited for acreages, farms or large yards. Each Trees for the Bees package includes:

• 3 x #1 Honeysuckle Vines
• 3 x #1 Golden Willow
• 3 x #2 Hardy Roses
• 2 x #2 Double Flowering Plums
• 2 x #2 Lilacs
• 1 x #5 Japanese Tree Lilac
• 1 x #5 Mountain Ash
• 1 x #5 Linden
• 2 x #5 Flowering Crabapples
• 1 x #10 Flowering Crabapple

All the shrubs and perennials included in this package flower beautifully, while providing key nutrients for the bees. We love to customise and would be happy to plan a Trees for the Bees package that works for your specific needs. Please call 780-921-2272 or email info@prairiegardens.org.
