My darling friend and I have gone on a couple of Habitat Garden Tours hosted by They organize a monthly tour of a few gardens near one another with inspirational examples incorporating native plants and creating habitats. It’s been fun to get a peek inside some of these secret gardens. 🌸🌱🦋💚✨
Deep Roots also hosts guided naturalist walks, native plant sales, and offer consultations for your own landscape. Their website has tons of great info if you’re curious about native plants.
It’s easy to start incorporating pollinators into your yard. Native Butterfly milkweed as a host to monarchs is a great place to start. Echinacea and Coreopsis are lovely and easy additions too. 🌼
Native landscapes:
🌻require less water
🌻create ecosystems to support wildlife (we NEED bees! 🐝)

🌻require less fossil fuel to maintain
🌻help clean the air in cities
and
Soil Service have good native plant selections locally.
