This spring, consider planting just 9 square feet of native plants. It may seem small, but the impact is enormous. Native plants are powerful for pollinators like bees and butterflies, offering the nectar and pollen they have relied on for millions of years. More native plants mean more insects, which are essential for feeding birds—especially during nesting season, when baby birds depend on them for survival. But the benefits don’t stop there. Native plants have deep roots that stabilize soil, filter rainwater, reduce flooding, and even pull carbon from the atmosphere, helping fight climate change. Renowned ecologist Dr. Doug Tallamy urges homeowners to rethink their landscapes, transforming lawns into thriving ecosystems. By planting even a small patch of natives, you become part of a larger, interconnected effort to restore biodiversity. ??Join the movement. Plant native. Even 3x3 feet can make a difference.??Want to learn more? ? Tallamy, D. W. (2007). Bringing Nature Home: How You Can Sustain Wildlife with Native Plants. Timber Press. ?
