Let's cultivate real impact together.
Best of all, you have the power to make this change happen. And reverse habitat loss. The land where wildlife live is replaced by millions of acres of urban and suburban development each year. The truth is, key wildlife species that visit our backyards and communities are disappearing. Native plants are those that have formed tight relationships with wildlife over thousands of years and create the most productive and sustainable place for wildlife to live. But they need a helping hand.
The good news: wildlife presence can double within one season. Studies on wildlife gardening show that wildflower gardens support wildlife by providing food, water, cover, and places to raise young. Talk about a comeback story.
Keystone plants can change the planet.
Change is more than possible. Keystone plants are natives that support the 90% of butterflies, moths, and up to 60% native bees in a specific ecoregion. Much of this wildlife is also responsible for supporting over three-quarters of all flowering plants, thanks to their pollination powers. The plants they support provide a third of the food we eat.
Build a home for butterflies and moths.
By gardening for wildlife, you aren’t just creating beauty, you’re becoming a hotelier for caterpillars, butterflies, and moths. Many flowering plants, shrubs, trees and grasses are places where wildlife lay their eggs and feed their young.
Be a hero to bee populations.
Gardening can help save your soul. It can save bees, as well. Did you know that specific native plants are responsible for supplying 30 percent of native bees the food their young need to survive? Bring joy to yourself, your family, and the bees.
The best bird feeders are nature’s bird feeders.
As your gardening journey continues, you’ll behold beautiful flowering plants. These, along with native trees, also help birds of every kind. Keystone plants do double duty by acting as “natural bird feeders” providing caterpillars and other insects which make up the primary food source for the young of most backyard birds. Hummingbirds also love nectar from many tubular shaped flowers. Many other bird species will be attracted to your wildlife garden, like woodpeckers, and even hawks, owls, and wild turkey. All it takes is a shovel and a little time.
Quick Facts About Wildlife
Birds
Since 1970, one third of North American Bird populations have declined. Backyard birds rely on thousands of caterpillars supplied by native plants.
Bees
Roughly 30% of 4,000 native bee species are pollen specialists that restrict their diets to specific plants.
Butterflies
The monarch butterfly that relies on native milkweed has declined by 90%.
Buy Native Plants
We’ve removed the guesswork and web searches. We know which native plants will best support wildlife. Since most stores carry little-to-no natives, we work with a network of regional growers to get chemical-free native plants delivered to you.
We currently offer native plant collections for 36 states in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast, and Midwest and we're working to expand nationwide.
