Sunflowers are magnets for attracting pollinators, wild bees in particular, to your garden. This is a small inventory of different pollinators that were captured on Originateve's regenerative gardens in August 2022 (Colorado). Sunflowers easily reseed and can be used as food for humans and livestock. www.originateve.org

Adding carbon to a garden increases the amount of water that can be absorbed and stored passively. Using logs creates a thicker wall to a raised bed that also promotes the mycological biodiversity when various species of wood are used. Over time, the logs create their own habitat for microorganisms that contribute to the health of the ecosystem, breaking down eventually to become the compost for plants. Plus . . . they're beautiful!
