On this episode of “Learn to Grow,” Misilla plants a variety of flowers to attract pollinators like hummingbirds, bumblebees, honeybees, and butterflies! Besides adding color and beauty to gardens, flowers provide food for pollinators and wildlife, increase crop yields and also increase the biodiversity in gardens!

“Most of you know that we love growing flowers, and I’m so excited to add to our pollinator garden and partner up with flowerbulbs.com, an informative and resourceful website with lots of tips and inspiration.” - Misilla, Learn to Grow
