Community planting guide

Flowers next to a rock with painted words in the colour purple

Pretty bedding plants like begonias and busy lizzies may brighten up our communities and gardens at home, but sadly they offer bumblebees very little or no food.

Swap bedding plants for bumblebee-friendly options with this handy four-page list – great for community groups and home gardeners alike!

Our community planting guide also lists plants by flowering time, so you can make sure you’re providing food for bumblebees across the seasons.
