A program called American Beauties that works with the National Wildlife Foundation to get native plants into peoples home landscapes to encourage wildlife such as pollinators and song birds. Where there is a food source and habitat, a healthy ecosystem can thrive. Visit the American Beauties website where it provides locations to buy such plants locally. It also provides detailed information on the plants that are part of this line--a very aesthetically appealing and informative webpage.
