When bugs aren't so bad: encouraging garden pollinators

Gardeners hoping to get more yield from their plants are likely aware they need to encourage pollinators, such as bees, insects, birds, and even wind or water. 

Pollination is the process of moving pollen (male) from the anther in one flower to the stigma (female) in another flower of the same species. The act of successful pollination produces fertile seeds. According to Gardening experts at the University of Saskatchewan, while some plants are self-pollinating, almost all flowering plants need to be pollinated by a winged creature.
