Attract Pollinators and Wildlife with Thicket Dogwoods!

Описание: Learn about another great shrub for wildlife in this video: 🍒🍒🍒🍒    • 4 Serviceberries That Attract Pollinators ...   🍒🍒🍒🍒

The thicket forming dogwoods – red osier, silky, pale, gray and roughleaf dogwoods are covered in this video - are some of the best shrubs for providing cover, food, and blooms in wildlife and pollinator plantings. They provide both berries and browse that feed a wide range of birds and mammals and are host plants for dozens of species. Their blooms are visited by all types of pollinators and help support several species of pollen specialist native bees.
