I went a bit wild in my garden this year without a plan, mainly sticking to wildflowers and marigolds for pollinators. I'm really hoping to attract more butterflies and bees next spring, especially since I've noticed a decline in bee activity this season. I live in northeastern PA, and I'd love to include native plants that can help support local pollinators. What would you recommend planting?

Going for native plants is definitely the best way to attract local pollinators! You should look for options that bloom at different times throughout the year so there's always food available. You might also want to check out local native plant societies; they can offer great suggestions!
That’s a solid idea; I hadn’t thought about visiting plant societies! I’ve heard that keeping a variety of plants helps too!
