Our human brains follow our eyes, and, like insect pollinators, we invariably focus our attention on bright showy floral displays. But our lively, colorful pollinator gardens will only be as successful as the food, primarily leaf matter, we provide for the pollinating insects’ early life stages. This presentation will highlight keystone plants, those trees, shrubs, and flowers that support the greatest diversity of insect life.
