Hello! My husband and I moved to Klamath Falls in April from Oklahoma. We are interested in turning our very small front lawn into a cottage style pollinator garden, hoping to use mostly native plants if possible. The spot however does stay in the shade most of the day as we have a large tree out front. Any suggestions for types of plants from this area would be incredibly helpful! Thank you so much for your time!

Hi Anne,
Welcome to Oregon! I suggest getting started by checking out our new publication, Native Plant Picks for Bees. We have also compiled more resources on our recently updated Bees and Pollinators webpage. There's many articles and collections of resources for supporting pollinators in your garden on this page.
After you've had some time to explore these, feel free to reply to this message if you'd like more specific gardening advice for your conditions. I can assign your question to one of our faculty or Master Gardener volunteers local to Klamath County.
Thanks for reaching out to OSU Extension,
McKenzie
