Bring a spark of joy into your life by smart garden planning. Here is a tip on how bananas can help. Instead of throwing away overripe bananas, turn them into a treat for pollinators in your garden. Butterflies and bees enjoy the natural sugars in brown bananas, which give them extra energy in addition to flower nectar. You can slice the bananas lengthwise or into rounds and place them on a dish in your garden or put them directly on a butterfly feeder. A banana hanger also works well to make feeding easier. To keep ants from swarming the fruit, pour a little water into the dish around the bananas. Adding a simple watering station nearby creates a refreshing spot for pollinators to rest and drink. By sharing your bananas this way, you reduce food waste while turning your garden into a welcoming oasis for bees and butterflies.
