Pollinator Planting

In 2022, Heartland Farms will be planting a mixture of native plants in the dry edge of an irrigated field. The pollinator mix will be a perennial mix of forbes (flowers) and grasses. The native species of plants have stiff and deep, intricate root systems that contribute to soil and water quality. This plot of forbes and grasses will be used to demonstrate how native species contribute to soil and water quality improvement while providing habitat to pollinators and local wildlife.
