Harvest a Bountiful Garden with Native Plants

Native plants evolved in our area and have adapted to the local soil and temperature patterns. In turn, they require less water and often less care than imported plants. Native wildflowers provide bees and other crucial pollinators like hummingbirds and butterflies with nutrient-rich nectar. Bees are some of the most valuable natural organisms as they pollinate over a third of the fruits and vegetables we eat. Not only will you be helping this process, your garden will be a beautiful sight!

It’s time to get your hands in the dirt, spruce up your yard and go native! Mass Audubon’s Moose Hill Annual Native Plant Sale is Saturday and Sunday, June 4 and 5, from 9 am to 4 pm each day.
