There’s an app for that…..

Published by Administrator under Cool & New

BeeSmart is available for both IPhone and Android systems

There’s an app for everything these days so why not create one that will help you choose pollinator friendly plants for your garden???  The folks at the Pollinator Partnership have done just that and created the BeeSmart Pollinator Gardener App.  The app features almost 1,000 plants native to the United States.  It allows you to filter by your region, type of pollinator you want to attract, soil and sun requirements, flower color, and plant type.    You can create your own plant lists with notes on specific plants.  The app provides great pictures for plants in the database with the capability to add your own plants to your customized lists.  No more wandering around the garden center wondering what will attract bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds to your garden!  Pollinators are what keep our gardens growing so don’t forget them when you plant!!!
