Who this garden brings back

Because kydawg 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.
Gypsy Cuckoo Bumble BeeEndangeredBee
The bees it relies on need these same native blooms. Plant for one, and you feed both.
Little Brown BatEndangeredBat
Disease wiped out most of them. A single bat eats thousands of insects a night, the ones night-blooming natives raise.
Barn SwallowThreatenedBird
A bird that once nested on every farm, now threatened. Native plants feed the flying insects it catches on the wing.
Chimney SwiftThreatenedBird
It catches every meal on the wing. Native plants sustain the insects it lives on.
Common NighthawkThreatenedBird
Its dusk call is going quiet. It hunts the night-flying moths that evening-primrose and milkweed raise.
Eastern Whip-poor-willThreatenedBird
Named for its haunting call, now seldom heard. It depends on the large moths native plants raise.
