There’s an App for That!
I broke down and bought a smart phone a year or so ago but I
never really got into getting all the apps. Technology and I are reluctant
partners and I really just wanted it to be a telephone and a way to check my
email on the go. But, I have to admit that this new app from the Pollinator
Partnership http://www.pollinator.org
Is pretty cool.
It’s called BeeSmart™ Pollinator Gardener. It’s a comprehensive guide to help you select plants
that attract pollinators specific to your area. They have a database with
nearly 1000 pollinator friendly plants native to the United States. It includes
a range of plants from perennials to trees. You can search for a specific
pollinator like butterflies or bats and drill down to search by flower color,
soil type and more.
It gets even better. Once you’ve created a list of plants you want, you
can bring your phone to the garden center and never forget what you were
looking for. You can use the free
Catch app and add text, pictures and voice recordings to your plant notes. You
can also use Catch to start a garden journal and connect with other garden
enthusiasts. BeeSmart and download this one – it’s free!
Bring
Life to Your Garden
Have
fun out there!
