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

A bird that once nested on every farm, now threatened. Native plants feed the flying insects it catches on the wing.

It needs goldenrod and asters to fatten up before winter. The late-summer blooms most gardens are missing.

Our native ladybugs are being pushed out. Native plants give them aphids to hunt and cover to overwinter.
