You’ll help:

• Support Pollinators & Wildlife: A single native flower can feed a bee. A few plants can create a thriving habitat for butterflies and birds.
• Conserve Water: Native plants need less irrigation, stabilize soil, and filter rainwater, helping to protect this vital resource.
• Create a Ripple Effect: Your actions can inspire those around you—family, friends, and neighbors—to nurture nature together.
