Who we're inviting to the neighborhood
Creating a small patch of native plants can make a BIG difference for wildlife! goodworm designs for seasonal succession so flowers are in bloom spring to fall while providing necessary habitat, host plants, and food sources for our pollinator pals (and other beneficial insects). Increasing biodiversity is important and cool!

Solitary Bees
These bees do not live in hives, but in the ground or pithy stems. They have co-evolved with our native plants for millions of years.
Exceptional pollinators!
​
Bumble Bees
Bumblebees are fluffy. They buzz loudly but are notoriously gentle.
Did you know bumblebees play and nap?
Hummingbirds
Hummingbirds are the only bird that can fly backwards! Planting certain flowers can attract hummingbirds to your yard!

Host Plants
A host plant 'hosts' where butterflies and moths lay eggs (and what the caterpillars eat as they grow).
Many pollinators need these plants for their life cycle to continue.
A classic example is Milkweed and the Monarch.
Insects and specific plants have co-evolved over thousands of years, forming symbiotic relationships.
