When selecting plants for your garden, consider choosing native plants. Native plants are adapted to the local climate and require less maintenance. They are also more resistant to pests and diseases, reducing the need for pesticides. Native plants provide food and shelter for birds, butterflies, and other wildlife, making your garden a vibrant and biodiverse habitat. Some popular native plants for bird feeders and butterfly gardens include coneflowers, milkweed, and bee balm.
