Native Plants Learn about Native Plants
Transforming your property into a haven for wildlife doesn't require drastic changes-small, intentional steps make a big difference. By planting native species, you provide essential food and shelter for wildlife. Native plants uniquely sustain local ecosystems, supporting pollinators, birds, and other creatures. Whether it's milkweed for butterflies, berry shrubs for birds, or leaf litter for insects, these simple actions help restore nature's balance.
Why start with native plants? They are the foundation of the food chain. Native plants provide the nutrients and habitat insects depend on, which attract birds, mammals, and reptiles. Native plants form the backbone of thriving ecosystems that support life all the way up the food web. Non-native plants, by contrast, often offer little value to wildlife and can disrupt local ecosystems. By choosing native plants, you're not just improving your yard-you're helping restore biodiversity in your community.
