Bee-Friendly Garden

Starting a Bee-Friendly Garden is a fun activity to do on your own on a beautiful day or with your significant other for a romantic weekend. Growing something takes care and patience. The more you put into it, the more it will return back to you. You start with planting a seed then giving it nutrients to grow, potentially providing a foundation to lean on along the way. When it’s ready it will bloom in the spring and the bees will provide pollination to result in a beautiful flower.

How to plant a Garden:

  1. Find a location – access to sunlight
  2. Plant the seeds – in the ground or pots
  3. Apply little water – well-drained area
  4. Watch them grow

With just $20 you can create something that will return positivity to you, the bees, and your community.
