Together with Homegrown National Park, we advocate for the widespread use of native plants to create habitats that support a diverse array of local wildlife, including essential pollinators such as bees, butterflies, birds, and other insects. Native plants play a crucial role in enhancing biodiversity and fostering sustainable ecosystems by providing food and habitat for a wide range of species.
Benefits of planting native
-
Adaptability: Native plants thrive in local conditions, making them effortless to grow and maintain.
-
Water Efficiency: Once established, native plants require minimal watering compared to non-native species.
-
Low Maintenance: They need little to no fertilizers or pesticides, reducing ongoing care.
-
Wildlife Attraction: Attract local wildlife such as birds, butterflies, and beneficial insects effortlessly.
-
Soil Health: Their deep roots enhance soil stability and fertility naturally.
-
Support Ecosystems: Contribute effortlessly to local biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.

What's a keystone plant?
Just like the "key" stone in a Roman archway, if you remove the stone, the arch collapses. A multitude of native plants have been identified as keystone plants where as they support many species rather than one or a few. If any of these native plants were to fall to extinction, a massive ecological collapse would soon follow. Learn more at the Homegrown National Park - Keystone Plant Guides
Planting a native garden is easy, fun, and rewarding
The Keystone Roll-Out Garden™ is a brand new collaboration featuring 4 keystone species and 4 powerful natives that pollinators thrive on. For each template that is sold, a portion of the proceeds are donated to Homegrown National Park®
