3. Plant what is native to your area ... avoid cultivars ... work on getting blooms throughout the season.

100s of different trees, shrubs, perennials, and some annuals to be picked from.

Xerces Society, Doug Tallamy’s books … bringing nature home and nature’s best hope…
…. and Wohlleben’s “the hidden life of trees” …. Plants talk to each other …are good resources
as per garden seeds and plants I would recommend The Prairie Nursery and Seed Saver’s
Exchange are solid. Epic Tomatoes is a good resource too.

If they are native to your area Early and Late Figworts don’t have a real showy flowers but they
put on a great show of pollinators are really neat plants.

If you have a wet area Lizard Tails are neat as are Button Bush.
