Who this garden brings back
Because GardenJoy planted these, these named species have a place here.
Little Brown BatEndangeredBatDisease wiped out most of them. A single bat eats thousands of insects a night, the ones night-blooming natives raise.
Chimney SwiftThreatenedBirdIt catches every meal on the wing. Native plants sustain the insects it lives on.
Common NighthawkThreatenedBirdIts dusk call is going quiet. It hunts the night-flying moths that evening-primrose and milkweed raise.
