I keep thinking about getting some borage. I’d also like to get some tansy. I’ve noticed the native bees love my comfrey.

What a great resource..thanks! I plant Borage (and it plants itself) throughout the garden to attract pollinators, it is wonderful for that, hubby’s bees just LOVE it! Kim

You know I don’t know how I learned. I’ve always been an artistic person, dabbling in painting, sewing and other things. I’ve always enjoyed looking at good photos and trying to figure out what I like about them. Mr Chiots and I are also in an artistic profession, which probably helps.

I think it’s all about finding things that you find beautiful and trying to capture that through your lens (and sometimes trying to make mundane things look beautiful). I started taking picture of everything with my little $150 Sony Cybershot last year for my blog (I didn’t take a ton of photos before that). I delete a lot that aren’t quite what I was looking for, with digital, it’s free to practice!

I haven’t tried to attract pollinators necessarily but nearly every plant I put in seems to bring them! The bees love my Russian sage.

No, but after this year I will. I have recently had a direct learning experience with how important pollinators are, after all the rain in June and the drastic improvement in my garden when the pollinators finally made their way over in July. I am still learning about how to attract which pollinators while making sure not to attract the pests by accident. I’ll certainly check out the guide….
And yet again (I feel like I say it all the time, but its true!) I wish I could capture the world around me through a photo lens as well as you do. How did you learn to do that?
