Who this garden brings back
Because siardica planted these, these named species have a place here.
Monarch ButterflyEndangeredButterflyA Monarch can only raise its young on milkweed. No milkweed, no Monarchs. It's that simple, and that fixable.
Mottled DuskywingEndangeredButterflyThis endangered butterfly can only raise its young on New Jersey Tea. Plant the shrub, save the butterfly.
Little Brown BatEndangeredBatDisease wiped out most of them. A single bat eats thousands of insects a night, the ones night-blooming natives raise.
