Nectar Cafe


Designing your Cafe

1. Choose a sheltered sunny spot
2. Place plants in groups so that the colour and scent are easy to detect
3. Select plants that you know have a show of flowers from early spring to late autumn
4. Remember to provide a night-time feast for moths, plant some night-scented flowers
5. Many herbs are highly attractive to insects, so add them into the mix, or design a dedicated herb garden

Choosing your Plants

Pollinator-Friendly Pest Control

Ladybird

Ladybirds

Ladybirds are pro Aphid-eaters. You might be wondering where you could get a good dozen of them to help out with an Aphid infestation. Amazon!
Vinegar & Dishsoap

Apple Cider Vinegar Solution

Gnats will be attracted to the apple cider vinegar because of its sweet smell and taste.
Nasturtium

Decoy Trap Plants

Trap crops are decoy plants to lure agricultural pests, away from the main crop affected by pests! Nasturtiums are amazing decoy plants!
Hosepipe

H20 Blast

A quick burst of water from your water hose or its nozzle is usually forceful enough to put a stop to a light infestation of aphids on leaves.
