this is a pretty good start on the list of plants i grow for pollinators and other wildlife. some are native to my region, many are native to california more broadly, and some are simply culinary herbs that pollinators love. i need to add a few more plants and organize the list, then i'll be able to add photos of the plants growing in my garden and some other information.
