How can I attract beneficial insects to my garden

Sure! Here are three different ways to attract beneficial insects to your garden:

**Plant a Variety of Flowers**: Go for a mix of native flowers, herbs, and plants that bloom at different times. Things like marigolds, sunflowers, and lavender are great because they attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. Plus, they look pretty!

**Create a Bug Hotel**: You can build or buy a bug hotel to provide shelter for beneficial insects like ladybugs and lacewings. Just stack some twigs, straw, and hollow stems in a corner of your garden, and watch as the good bugs move in!
