My goal for this page is to share information and resources related to native plants and native cultivars.

What are native plants? Native plants are the plants that have grown and evolved in a specifc region over thousands or even millions of years. The pollinators and rest of the local ecosystem has evolved along with them as they’ve provided food and habitat throughout that time. Sometimes an insect becomes a ‘specialist’ where it needs one specific plant to survive. If that plant disappears, so do all the insects that depend upon it

Why is this important? Everything in this world is connected. Bugs depend on plants, birds depend on bugs, bigger birds depend on smaller creatures and so on. It’s not just for the pollinators and the crops they pollinate. Native plants are important for the whole food chain, including us.
