About THE GARDEN
Buzzing Blossoms Garden is where I incorporate all of my interests, from macro photography to entomology to horticulture to woodworking, into one messy experiment. The end goal of this experiment is to have a suburban home garden that pollinators see as an island of food and a nursery where they can build families. I hope that the local bee, wasp, butterfly, and moth citizenry will fall madly in love with this region of Mandarin, Florida. How can they resist scintillating, nectar-rich flowers offered throughout the year? So, I’m on a mission to create the most irresistible flowers out there, ones that will make even the pickiest pollinators and gardeners alike swoon.
