Plant native, shop native
Wow, did you make it through that list? Congratulations on your scrolling prowess.
As long as that list is, it’s still not enough. To put it in perspective, Massachusetts has around 20 native plant nurseries alongside 3,162 Dunkin Doughnuts.
Let’s spend our money at these local heroes’ shops as we build our gardens, and hopefully encourage these businesses to grow (pun intended.) We all have the power to plant native and help butterflies, songbirds, and hummingbirds flourish. Your yard can have a positive impact, and take less time than lawn care. Happy planting!
