Who this garden brings back

Because Becky planted these, these named species have a place here.

Monarch ButterflyEndangeredButterfly
A Monarch can only raise its young on milkweed. No milkweed, no Monarchs. It's that simple, and that fixable.
Barn SwallowThreatenedBird
A bird that once nested on every farm, now threatened. Native plants feed the flying insects it catches on the wing.
Wood ThrushThreatenedBird
Its flute-like song is fading from our woods. Native shrubs raise the caterpillars it needs to feed its chicks.
Canada WarblerThreatenedBird
A bright yellow warbler in decline. Native shrubs raise the caterpillars it feeds to its young.
American Bumble BeeSpecial concernBee
It needs goldenrod and asters to fatten up before winter. The late-summer blooms most gardens are missing.
Transverse Lady BeetleSpecial concernBeetle
Our native ladybugs are being pushed out. Native plants give them aphids to hunt and cover to overwinter.
Luna MothSpecialistMoth
One of our most beautiful moths raises its young on native trees like birch and serviceberry.
