4 Page 4 of 6 We've all been there, the garden center I mean. You wander through the racks of plants at your local greenhouse or retailer and you take in the sights and smells of early spring & suddenly you feel like you have the greenest thumb on the planet & can grow ANYTHING!! No? Maybe it's just me. But I'm sure you get the idea. I am always drawn to greenhouses despite the fact that gardening is more of a chore than a hobby for me but in early spring all things are possible. Garden centers & greenhouses have a nasty habit of presenting you with an array of options that while eye catching are not always in the best interests of your yard and local ecosystem. Hybrid plants and non-natives can discourage local pollinators, damage soil quality, and even go rogue and become invasive causing decades of damage. One way that you can improve the quality of your own green space is to do a little "digging" and look for species that are not only attractive to the eye but also native to your locale. Now, don't get me wrong, my yard features some pretty amazing non-native species, I happen to have a knack for growing Asiatic lilies, but a large part of my garden features a collection of species native to western Iowa. Since beginning my first butterfly garden 5 years ago I have expanded to the point where native species make up almost 50% of my garden area and boy has my yard come alive! Last year, after 10 years of work I observed over 25 species of native pollinators, 4 species of frogs, and more species of songbirds then I can count. Definitely worth all of that effort and dirt under my nails. Gardening with natives might seem daunting but one or two quick changes each season and you will be on your way to a native paradise in no time. Here are 5 species to get you started on your native gardening adventure. Each of these can be purchased from mail order gardening catalogs and grown from seed so your start up cost is minimal. I recommend a quick google search to find distributors in your area. Continue reading... Upcoming Programs Earth Adventure Scavenger Hunt, Hitchcock Nature Center Sunday, April 24th 1:30 p.m.
