Who this garden brings back
Because dugald 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.
