Grow a garden that gives back

You do not need a meadow. A few thoughtful plants and gentler garden habits can help make your yard part of a living neighborhood.

Butterflies

Host plants feed caterpillars; nectar plants feed the adults. A useful garden makes room for both.

Bees

A long season of blooms, varied flower shapes, and fewer pesticides can make even a small yard valuable.

Habitat

Leaf litter, hollow stems, water, shelter, and a little imperfection give wildlife places to live.
