Plants for encouraging pollinators in small spaces

Top tips for supporting pollinators in small spaces:

1. When space is tight, sneak some pollinator-friendly bulbs such as ornamental alliums into your pots
2. ​Have a bare wall? Cover it with a honeysuckle for the bees and moths
3. Let ivy flower on walls and trees for a late-season pollen and nectar bonanza
4. Save a patch of bare soil for solitary bees to nest in
5. A 1 x 1 metre square of long grass is enough room for a bumblebee to make a nest
6. Welcome hoverflies by making a hoverfly lagoon from an old plastic milk carton
