Who this garden brings back

Because SeeJaneGarden 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.
Mottled DuskywingEndangeredButterfly
This endangered butterfly can only raise its young on New Jersey Tea. Plant the shrub, save the butterfly.
Rusty-patched Bumble BeeEndangeredBee
Once common across eastern North America, now almost gone. It feeds on wild bergamot and asters, flowers any yard can grow.
Eastern MeadowlarkThreatenedBird
A grassland bird losing its grasslands. Native bunchgrasses bring back the insects and cover it needs.
Chimney SwiftThreatenedBird
It catches every meal on the wing. Native plants sustain the insects it lives on.
BobolinkThreatenedBird
A bubbling song of summer meadows, now threatened. Native grasses rebuild the habitat it raises its young in.
Olive-sided FlycatcherThreatenedBird
It perches on tall spruces and sallies out to catch flying insects. Native blooms keep its prey in the air.
Yellow-banded Bumble BeeSpecial concernBee
A once-common bumble bee in decline. Beebalm and columbine are among its favourites.
American Bumble BeeSpecial concernBee
It needs goldenrod and asters to fatten up before winter. The late-summer blooms most gardens are missing.
Eastern Wood-PeweeSpecial concernBird
Its slow 'pee-a-wee' call is heard less each year. It needs the flying insects native plants support.
Transverse Lady BeetleSpecial concernBeetle
Our native ladybugs are being pushed out. Native plants give them aphids to hunt and cover to overwinter.
