The Problem
Since the 1990s, the monarch butterfly population has declined by 85 - 95% in eastern North America. In 2022, it was classified as an endangered species.
Sadly, the monarch is not alone in its plight. Many other wildlife populations are also in serious decline due to habitat loss.
NATIVE PLANTS = HABITAT
What we choose to plant in our landscapes matters now more than ever. A great place to start is in your own backyard.
Create a habitat for wildlife and restore balance with Michigan-native plants!

🌱 Seed-Propagated – Grown from seed to ensure genetic diversity and natural resilience.
🐝 Pesticide-Free – Safe for pollinators, pets, and people—unlike most big-box store plants.
✋ Native Species – Specifically adapted to Michigan and Great Lakes ecosystems.
🧬 Wild Type – Offering natural genetic diversity and superior ecological benefits compared to cultivated varieties.
🐦 Curated Selection – Edible, deer-resistant, and bird-feeder plants available.
Native plants are the foundation of ecosystems. They provide the habitat necessary for life to exist:
Clean Air | Water | Food | Habitat | Fertile Soil
