克拉克斯维尔-蒙哥马利县的健康庭院 Program
We all rely on pollinating insects for the production of healthy fruits and vegetables and for healthy ecosystems that protect and benefit us in many ways. 健康的码 aims to help residents provide a habitat for native pollinators. 少了一码 lawn and more native plants can reduce the need for chemicals and watering and provide 为儿童和宠物提供更健康的环境. 健康庭院是市政府的一个项目 克拉的 可持续发展委员会 and Montgomery County government with assistance from the 365bet 野外生物学卓越中心.
When you register your yard, you will receive an attractive and durable sign for your 码:

选择和采购工厂
选择位置
- 大多数传粉植物在充足的阳光下生长. 找一个有6-8小时日照的地方 每天. However, the late afternoon sun (when it is most hot) can be stressful on 一些需要更多水分的植物.
- Group several plants of the same species for attractiveness, easier weeding and control of spread (if you choose to do so), and efficiency for pollinator feeding.
- Consider proximity to a water source, especially if you start from seed. 植物会 need to be watered until they are established in the first few months, and small seedlings 需要更频繁地浇水.
为本地传粉者花园选择植物
- 每个人都有适合自己的园艺风格. 计划和执行一个 design, maintain specific plants only where intended, and exercise your managerial style. But it can also be very effective to try lots of plants, whatever you happen across, see what thrives, and let nature drive the process. 你喜欢勤务兵吗 garden design or prefer the look of a natural mixed-species meadow? 这是你的选择.
- 本地的? For the benefit of pollinators and local ecosystems, the best choice 是最本地的. If you can get plants that are Tennessee natives, great! 多数情况下, 你最好的选择是美国.S. 东南地区土著.
-
- Definitely avoid cultivars, plants that are selectively bred for different flower color or size or other traits that make them significantly different from their wild 表亲. (You can recognize cultivars by the addition of a variety name, often, but 不总是,在单引号中,比如 Baptisia南极光 “闪闪发光的蓝宝石.’)
- 你会买植物还是种子?
-
- 种子可以很便宜. In a good year, they will thrive with almost no care. (毕竟,大自然是怎么做到的?) But in periods without rain, seeds and seedlings 需要通过浇水来保持湿润.
-
- Purchasing plants can mean a much shorter period of supportive watering. 连接建立后, plants that are well-chosen for the habitat will require little to no effort to thrive.
-
- Native seeds and seedlings are often shared in the local native plant community. Go to plant swaps and other events and don’t be afraid to ask. 大多数本地园丁 喜欢分享他们的恩惠.
- 选择植物时要考虑这些因素
- 一年生或多年生
- 高度
- 太阳的需求
- Soil moisture and watering needs (dry, moist, wet)
- 你对鹿有抵抗力吗(不好吃)?
- Choose multiple species that will 给 you pollinator food and attractive blooms throughout 生长季节. Pick plants that bloom in spring, others that bloom in summer 还有一些是秋季的.
- 考虑成熟植株的高度和日照. 把小一点的植物放在前面,这样它们 不会被更高的植物遮蔽吗. 在间隔种植时,要考虑到最终的成熟 植物的大小. 它可能需要2-4年才能成熟.
- 考虑土壤湿度. Select plants that prefer a dry, moist or wet environment -任何最适合你的位置.
- 设备利用率. Don’t fall in love with a plant until you find out if it is available from a reputable source or a native gardener friend.
