A pollinator is an animal that moves pollen from one flower to another. This is vital to the reproductive process of plants. Pollinators are usually insects like bees and butterflies, but even nectar eating birds, such as hummingbirds, can aid in the process as well. Unfortunately, due to the growth of cities and the impact billions of humans have on the planet, the number of pollinators has been decreasing steadily. Without pollinators, it wouldn't be possible to grow fruits and some vegetables, there would be no more flowers, not even coffee! The best thing we can do to help our pollinating friends is by planting their favourite thing; flowers. Below is a list of the top 6 flowers that will attract the most pollinators to a garden in North America.
