"We wanted to make it easier for anyone to do their part to support pollinators and wildlife - in gardens large or small. More and more gardeners want to grow native plants, but it can be challenging to understand which native plants are right for your yard, and which plants will help support bees, butterflies, birds, and the greater ecosystem.
That's where keystone plants come in! Our Ecoregion Native Plant Collections feature these reliable native plant species because they are superstars in their plant and animal communities.
Plus, they can be grown in pots or a garden bed. You can start with just one collection to grow a resource-rich oasis in containers. Or, you can mass plant multiple collections to really fill in your yard. Together, our small collective actions add up to create a positive impact."
