FAQ

  • Host plants support the larvae of pollinators. In adult form, pollinators can feed on a wide variety of plants. But many insects only lay eggs on a few specific species of plants, their host plants. These host plants are critical to a healthy and diverse ecosystem.

  • We rely on sources such as the Xerces Society and the UC Berkeley Urban Bee Lab for plant lists that are pollinator-friendly and regionally appropriate for the Bay Area.

  • We donate plants to any group doing restoration or planting work in the Bay Area, especially on public or protected land.
