Who this garden brings back
Because TinaSi 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.
Rusty-patched Bumble BeeEndangeredBeeOnce common across eastern North America, now almost gone. It feeds on wild bergamot and asters, flowers any yard can grow.
Gypsy Cuckoo Bumble BeeEndangeredBeeThe bees it relies on need these same native blooms. Plant for one, and you feed both.
