Who this garden brings back

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

Barn SwallowThreatenedBird
A bird that once nested on every farm, now threatened. Native plants feed the flying insects it catches on the wing.
American Bumble BeeSpecial concernBee
It needs goldenrod and asters to fatten up before winter. The late-summer blooms most gardens are missing.
Yellow-banded Bumble BeeSpecial concernBee
A once-common bumble bee in decline. Beebalm and columbine are among its favourites.
Transverse Lady BeetleSpecial concernBeetle
Our native ladybugs are being pushed out. Native plants give them aphids to hunt and cover to overwinter.
