The way we plant shapes the world around us

Making a Difference, Yard by Yard

At Garden for Wildlife®, we believe native plants hold the key to a vibrant future for both wildlife and ourselves. We began this journey in 1973, when the National Wildlife Federation's Garden for Wildlife™ program ignited a nationwide movement. Since then, millions of Americans have joined forces, creating over 300,000 Certified Wildlife Habitats® and providing critical food, water, cover, and places to raise young for countless species.

Milkweed for Monarchs

Since 2021, we've sold 30,000+ native milkweed plants to support monarchs. Milkweed is a critical host plant that supports monarch butterflies throughout their lifecycle. While most butterfly species can feed on a variety of host plants, monarch caterpillars can only survive on a diet of milkweed.

Native to Your Ecoregion

Through extensive research and partnerships, we've curated native plant collections specifically tailored to your region. These collections are designed to attract and support butterflies, moths, native bees, and the birds that depend on them throughout three seasons (spring, summer, and fall).

We've collaborated with naturalists and ecologists at the National Wildlife Federation and esteemed scientists like Dr. Doug Tallamy, whose research identified "keystone" plants, to curate our native plant collections. Our extensive, multi-step scientific process determines which plants are native to your region.

The Right Plant for the Right Place

Native to North America doesn't mean native to your ecoregion. We're making it easy to find the right plants and taking the guesswork out of planting native. Our innovative zip code verification system ensures you only receive plants native to your region. This guarantees you're providing the ideal food sources and habitat for the wildlife you want to attract.

Our popular Plant Finder tool can also help you find the right plants just by answering a few simple questions. 

Find Your Plants

Chemical-Free, Sustainably Grown

Most big box stores and gardening centers carry little-to-no native plants. We work with a network of accredited growers to deliver native plants free from neonicotinoids and other harmful chemicals directly to your door. Each of our growers is carefully vetted to ensure you receive the highest-quality plants that are ethically and sustainably-grown, and native to your ecoregion.
