Pollinators and other beneficial insects provide such important ecosystem services as controlling pest populations and pollinating our fruit trees and berry plants. In fact, there would be no fruit without them. Unfortunately, many are facing decline and need our help. Pollinator plants make great orchard companions. Not only are they beautiful, but they provide food and habitat for beneficial insects, and many are native to Vermont, thus increasing resilience in the landscape in the face of climate change.
