Pollinator Response to Native Plant Habitat Gardens

Residential landscaping has traditionally included nonnative ornamental plants, grasses, and trees to create unique or practical designs. As urban areas expand and dominate the landscape, the resources wildlife have come to depend on, through diverse native vegetation, are becoming scarce. Our gardens, yards, and natural areas, however, can provide a unique opportunity to replace those dwindling resources while still meeting the qualifications of landscaping desires.
