Bee friendly plants for your garden
Nursery
Elegant and aromatic, French lavender (Lavandula dentata) is a hardy, evergreen shrub cherished for its soft grey-green foliage and long-lasting purple blooms. Its distinctive serrated (“toothed”) leaves release a sweet, calming fragrance that drifts through the garden, attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators.
French lavender thrives in sunny, well-drained positions and is beautifully suited to borders, pots, and cottage gardens. It’s valued not only for its beauty but also for its gentle relaxing aroma, which is often used in herbal teas, oils, and natural remedies to promote calm and wellbeing.
Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, Lavandula dentata is a perfect choice for those seeking a resilient, fragrant addition that’s as beneficial to bees as it is to people.
Peppermint is a wonderful garden plant that benefits both bees and people. Its small flowers attract pollinators, providing a valuable nectar source. The fragrant leaves can also be harvested to make a refreshing, soothing tea that’s perfect for enjoying straight from the garden.
