“Some scientists estimate that one out of every three bites of food we eat exists because of animal pollinators like bees, butterflies and moths, birds and bats, and beetles and other insects.” Without pollinators, we can’t enjoy coffee, bananas, apples, or strawberries. “Habitat loss, disease, parasites, and environmental contaminants have all contributed to the decline of many species of pollinators.” How can you help? By planting native pollinator-friendly plants in your home landscape.

Native plants create habitat for local wildlife, are lower maintenance than imported varieties & are more likely to survive local soil and weather.

Native plants also capture carbon and don’t require industrial pollution like lawn mowers or blowers to maintain. They require far less water than non-native plants/lawns and they are beautiful! They produce a wide array of showy flowers and seasonal interest.
