How can I choose plants that support local wildlife?

Choosing native plants is a great start! They provide food and habitat for local wildlife. What type of wildlife are you hoping to attract?

I want to attract butterflies and bees.

Consider planting milkweed for butterflies and lavender for bees. Both are excellent choices! Do you have a specific garden size in mind?

I have a small backyard. Will those plants work?

Absolutely! Both milkweed and lavender can thrive in smaller spaces. Just ensure they get enough sunlight. Would you like tips on care?

Yes, that would be helpful!

For milkweed, water it moderately and deadhead spent flowers to encourage more blooms. Lavender prefers well-drained soil and less water.
