Pollinators.

Garden plants also benefit from pollinators. A pollinator is an insect or animal that helps plants create fruit or seeds. They do this by moving pollen from one part of a plant’s flower to another part. This pollen then fertilizes or gives the plant what it needs to grow fruit or seeds. Butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds are all pollinators.

Match pollinators with the flowers they pollinate!
