Thanks for the tips Brian! I actually put some lavender seed in last year and am hoping to get flowers this year. Just this morning, I planted nasturtium seeds in several spots (on the recommendation of a fellow gardener), so I think I’m on the right track to luring those bees! Someone also suggested adding marigolds.
