Before you plant this spring… pause. 🌱

Just in case you missed out on the reel for this one, here’s an infographic.

Many common landscape plants are invasive and provide little benefit to wildlife. Native species support birds, pollinators, and healthy ecosystems. It’s so important to always plant with purpose.

Choose plants that give back. Make your backyard a haven for pollinators and wildlife.

These plants are native to decoration 8 USA.

For natives to your area by zipcode in US we recommend nwf.org/nativeplantfinder
