The Power of Native Plants: How can we create a more welcoming habitat for birds, butterflies and bees? The key is understanding what native plants are, why they are essential to insects, and the vital importance of these relationships to a healthy, functioning ecosystem. Learn simple steps you can take to support biodiversity in your home landscape.
