Garden for Wildlife's efforts are not just about beautifying spaces; they're critical in our fight to prevent the extinction of wildlife species and confront climate change.
The simplest, most tangible and effective action you can take to help the planet is to restore whatever part of the environment you control with native plants.
Native plants use about half as much water as non-native plants like turf grass and have longer roots adapted to reach more than a foot underground to access water.
Native plants — those that occur naturally in a region and are not species imported from other parts of the globe — are the core of a wildlife habitat garden
To make your garden more eco-friendly, there are many easy adjustments you can make to support the environment and improve biodiversity. Growing native plants is one of them.
Creating a backyard wildlife habitat can be quite simple. Planting native plants and nectar-rich flowers, supplying food and water sources, and avoiding pesticides are some of the keystones.

1/7Great Native Plants!
The plants were delivered healthy. Once planted they quickly took off, I got tons of caterpillars my very first year. I completely recommend this purchase.

3/7Healthy Plants, Packaged Well
I planted them right away. I was impressed with the packaging and the plant quality. The root system was healthy and the plants were not terribly dehydrated as many mail order plants can be.

5/7Worth the Investment
I have been so impressed with each delivery I've received. The packaging is superb, keeping the plants in a safe, healthy state during shipping. Each plant has been healthy and strong, transplanting and thriving. Every single plant I ordered and put in my garden last year, came back strong this year - acting every bit like a 3rd year plant. I love my 3 Little Bluestem plugs and can't wait to watch them grow next year. Absolutely worth the cost!

7/7Beautiful and Resilient!
I planted them this spring so no flowers yet but I did accidentally break the stem for two of the plants which had ALL the leaves. I thought the plant was a goner BUT it came back. The root system was strong even for the little plants and it is back to thriving again.
