Who this garden brings back
Because JerseySue planted these, these named species have a place here.

A Monarch can only raise its young on milkweed. No milkweed, no Monarchs. It's that simple, and that fixable.

A grassland bird losing its grasslands. Native bunchgrasses bring back the insects and cover it needs.

A bubbling song of summer meadows, now threatened. Native grasses rebuild the habitat it raises its young in.

This garden already supports 3 different species at risk, a real corridor stop.
