IT’S NATIONAL POLLINATOR WEEK

IT’S NATIONAL POLLINATOR WEEK — AND OUR POLLINATORS NEED US NOW.
Bees, butterflies, birds, bats, and other wildlife are losing the food and habitat they need to survive. This week, take action where you are: plant native host plants, nectar-rich flowers, seed-producing plants, and habitat-supporting shrubs and trees. Leave safe spaces for caterpillars, birds, and small mammals. Reduce pesticide use. Let parts of your yard grow wild. Every garden, balcony, schoolyard, park, and roadside can become part of the solution.

Don’t wait — plant, protect, and restore pollinator habitat today. Biodiversity depends on what we do next.

Thanks, Audubon for a great Spring 2023 Native Plant Sale!

We really appreciate our Arkansas Audubon folks. They go way above and beyond the call of duty to promote local native plant vendors. They make a great partner in trying to promote plants that help birds, butterflies, and other pollinators. Can’t wait for the fall sale and more progress toward keeping Arkansas the Natural State!

Love Your Outdoor Spaces

Spring is approaching and it’s time to refresh your outdoor spaces. We recommend creating Pollinator & Habitat Gardens with native plants. You and your family will be helping the environment and also have a beautiful space to enjoy butterflies and a variety of birds. If you don’t want to spend time creating and skip right to enjoyment let us help you! We can advise you on what plants will work in your space. Our crew can do the hard work for you. Maybe you’d like a stone patio or beds for a vegetable garden. From solely decorative to purposeful, we can create it.
