Just a few reasons we're obsessed with supporting the hardest workers in the garden:

🌼 One out of every three bites of food we eat exists because of pollinators.

🌼 Nearly 75% of flowering plants depend on pollinators to reproduce.

🌼 More than 80% of wild flowering plants rely on pollinators, helping support birds, wildlife, and healthy ecosystems.

🌼 Pollinators contribute an estimated $15 billion to U.S. agriculture every year.

🌼 Bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, moths, beetles, and bats all play a role in keeping our landscapes diverse and productive.

🌼 Healthy pollinator populations help increase the yield and quality of crops like tomatoes, blueberries, squash, apples, and cherries.

🌼 Even a small pollinator garden or a pot on the porch can provide food and habitat for these tiny but mighty creatures!

So it turns out... pollinators are pretty important and tailoring parts of your garden to support them supports our ecosystem and planet in ways you might not even imagine!

Stop by Good News Gardening and let us help you create a haven for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. 🌸🦋🐝

🐝🌼 Happy Pollinator Week!

DID YOU KNOW? 🤔 One out of every three bites of food we eat exists because of pollinators! Pretty incredible for creatures that only ask for a few flowers, a drink of water, and a safe place to land.

The good news? You don't need a huge garden to make a difference. Even a pot on the porch can become a pollinator pit stop.

We're celebrating all week with some of our favorite ways to support the hardest workers in the garden:

🌸 Pollinator-friendly plants
🌿 Healthy soils and organic amendments
💧 Bird baths and water features
🐞 Natural garden solutions that support the good guys

Small creatures. Huge impact. 💚

Stop by this week and let's make Hood River an even happier place for bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds!

Some gardens are planted. Others are curated. 🤌

A beautiful vessel has a way of transporting you: a weathered urn says “old European courtyard.” Terracotta with herbs feels like a Mediterranean escape. Layered pots overflowing with blooms give English cottage garden vibes. Oversized concrete vessels bring quiet resort energy. And colorful glazed pottery basically just feels like a little joy wherever it lands. 💛

Landscape design pros mix vessels of different heights, textures, and sizes! ✨ Think tall statement piece, three pots layered in a garden bed, or a pair of matching urns at the front door. Containers add personality, color and interest to your space, even without blooms!

Here are a few of the garden styles we’re dreaming about this season and pieces from our own pottery yard that capture the same feeling.

Because sometimes all it takes is the right vessel to transport you somewhere beautiful. 💚🪴
