Bumble Bees on Asters
When we decided to re-landscape the backyard with native plants that would attract birds and butterflies, it was easy to feel overwhelmed at the choices. What plants? How many of each? Where to find the plants? How to place them?
We were fortunate to find folks who knew more than we did who shared their enthusiasm and knowledge. I’m sharing some of the resources that have been most helpful to me and hope they may be helpful to others as well.
- Native plant resources include “why” natives are important and “ways” to incorporate them into any landscape.
- Butterfly resources include ways to attract butterflies to your backyard and if you are interested, how to raise them.
- Our Backyard is one example of a Kentucky native backyard. We enjoy sharing it and hope it can be a source of information for others.
