Who this garden brings back

Because krissytower planted these, these named species have a place here.

Gypsy Cuckoo Bumble BeeEndangeredBee
The bees it relies on need these same native blooms. Plant for one, and you feed both.
Barn SwallowThreatenedBird
A bird that once nested on every farm, now threatened. Native plants feed the flying insects it catches on the wing.
American Bumble BeeSpecial concernBee
It needs goldenrod and asters to fatten up before winter. The late-summer blooms most gardens are missing.
Transverse Lady BeetleSpecial concernBeetle
Our native ladybugs are being pushed out. Native plants give them aphids to hunt and cover to overwinter.
