One of the things we hope to achieve during our time as stewards of the land that we call the Genuine Faux Farm, is to work with nature and provide habitat for pollinators. We do all sorts of things - some of them might seem strange to other growers - to support a wide range of pollinators. We let patches of clover and daisies grow in our "lawn" areas and we try to manage when we mow to promote new blooms, while still allowing these non-lawn plants a chance to thrive. We plant a range of annual flowering plants with our vegetables and I have been known to let broccoli bloom because I know our little friends like them.
