What actually helps on small sites: structure, season, and less bare soil.

A single nectar plant is not a habitat. On school grounds and gardens we look for layered cover, staggered flowering, and somewhere damp or rough for insects to overwinter.

Start with what already wants to grow nearby, then add a few well-chosen natives rather than a catalogue of everything.
