I used to think my little garden didn't matter for anything bigger.

I planted a small pollinator patch in my yard in Denver three years ago, but it took until this summer to actually see a real bee or butterfly on it. What finally convinced me was seeing a single monarch land there after a neighbor cut down all their milkweed. How do you keep going when you don't see any results for so long?

Guess the bees were just fashionably late.

Maybe they got lost in the GPS of flower scents. I read that new cell tower signals can mess with their navigation, so they show up late to the party.

Wow, that monarch proved your garden mattered the whole time.
