Create a pocket meadow

Create a small oasis for Bees and other pollinators
Plant flowers and plants in your garden, yard, balcony, rooftop or in pots!
Bees feed exclusively on the sweet juices of plants and the pollen of flowers. All you need is a square meter of land or a few pots, some seeds or plants, and a love for nature and pollinators.
You'll fill your space with colours and aromas while helping Bees and supporting the survival of nature.
Some advice
Prefer native plants.
Suggested plants:
(low) marigold, calendula, mint, oregano, rosemary, lavender, sage, savory, thyme, sunflower
(shrubs) heather, strawberry tree, viburnum, chaste tree, laurel, bottlebrush, firethorn, hawthorn
(trees) almond, apricot, pear, apple, plum, cherry plum, peach, orange, carob, judas, hazelnut, chestnut, linden
Ask an agronomist about the plants' needs for light, soil, and water, and to help you choose species that pair well together
Avoid chemicals. If you must use plant protection products, choose organic solutions (e.g., Bacillus thuringiensis, kaolin, etc.) and spray just before nightfall, making sure no bees are present.
Tell friends and family about your good deed, encouraging them to do the same. Many Pocket Meadows together will make our world friendlier to Bees.
