🐝 Goldenrod (Solidago) gets an undeserved bad rap (it’s ragweed that causes allergies, not this guy!), but it’s actually one of the best late-season native plants for pollinators. It blooms right when many other flowers are fading, giving bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects a crucial food source heading into fall.

🌾 Want to invite pollinators like this into your own yard? Go Green Winnetka’s Fall Native Plant Sale is Sept 12 — come find goldenrod and other native favorites to keep the buzz going all season.

Fall is prime time to plant them — while it’s cool up top, their roots are hard at work getting settled in before spring.
