Helpful visitors

Insects play a vital role in your garden. Whether pollinating plants, protecting against invasive species, or just looking beautiful, these tiny visitors are constantly giving back to their surroundings. Insects are also a natural food source for other garden wildlife, so having an abundance of bugs is great for attracting other birds and wildlife to your outdoor space.
