Have you ever wondered why the bees and butterflies hang around certain plants and not others? Have you ever thought about where a bird finds over 300 caterpillars a day just to feed themselves? Have you ever thought about the role that pollinators play in our garden?
Welcome to Introduction to Native Plants! In this session, we will learn the answers to those questions and many more! Native plants have been alive for thousands of years and our lives depend on them! Find out the role of native plants in the ecosystem and what you can do in your OWN garden to ensure the survival and health of our ecosystem, by planting native plants.
