THE WORLD NEEDS MORE NATIVE PLANTS
Here are some resources to help you choose native plants for your area!
Plants
The Xerces Society Is the leader in advocating on behalf of threatened, endangered, and at-risk invertebrates and their habitats. From the world’s rarest butterflies, to caddisflies that live solely in one stream, to declining bumble bee populations, the Xerces Society is dedicated to protecting invertebrates and the ecosystems that depend on them. You can view their website here.
