How we feel about nature affects the gardening choices we make and how much those choices benefit pollinators. A new study from Lund University highlights this connection, particularly in the context of widespread urbanisation, which is reducing both green spaces and people’s contact with nature. The researchers also show that for pollinators in cities, gardens with plantings kept over many years
