Landscapes That Welcome Pollinators

Are you interested in planting trees and shrubs that are pollinator-friendly? According to the University of Minnesota, there are numerous options available to please the bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. These include:
​

• Roses, including Carefree Delight and Purple Pavement
• Lilacs, including the Common Purple Lilac and the Sensation Lilac
• Fruit-Bearing Shrubs, such as the Latham Raspberry and American Cranberrybush
• Shrubs, including the Abbotswood Potentilla and the Crisp Leaf Spirea
• Trees, including Apple and Crabapple

​At West Metro, we pride ourselves on taking safety measures to protect the pollinators and their environment. This includes, but is not limited to, remaining attentive to blossoming flowers and reducing the occurrence of spray drift.
