Native gardens can support far more than aesthetics. Flowers, seeds, berries and plant structure can provide resources for bees, butterflies, birds and other wildlife.
Build a season, not one bloom
Combine species with different flowering periods and mature forms so the garden offers resources across more of the year.
Good groups to explore
California buckwheats, sages, monkeyflowers, ceanothus, toyons and native milkweeds can play different habitat roles.
