This native plant pollinator garden template is adaptable to a range of garden shapes and sizes, and features Northeast native plants that thrive in full sun.
Why native plants?
Adapted to our local climate and soils, native plants thrive without the need for irrigation or fertilizer and play a critical role in supporting biodiversity. These plants have deeply rooted relationships with native pollinators and herbivores, including hundreds of butterfly and moth species.
Returning native plants to our urban, suburban, and rural spaces supports creatures large and small and connects us to nature where we live, work, and play.
