Golden Summer

This pattern is inspired by my late summer pollinator garden. I planted this garden with my kids, and we watch for the pollinators each year with great excitement. By the end of the summer, the colors in this garden are extraordinary. The plants I included in the pattern are: purple coneflower, beebalm, black eyed susan, black and blue salvia, dill, zinnia, yellow passionflower, and cleome. I also snuck in some of the animals I often see in the garden, including goldfinches, bluebirds, snails, and eastern tiger swallowtail butterflies.
