Why choose native species

• Attract pollinators, including

butterflies, bumblebees,

honeybees, dragon flies, birds

• Produce more nectar and pollen

than modern hybrids

• Easy to grow! (minimal watering

after established, 1-2 years)

• Resist mold, mildew, insect pests

• No need for harmful, dangerous

chemicals or pesticides

Deer Resistant shrubs

• Deer tend not to like shrub

foliage that is sticky, hairy,

feathery, or emits an odor

that is not appealing. Deer

also tend to develop

regional tastes for shrubs.

• Shrubs that are native to an

area may not be preferred

or may be ignored by deer

because they did not

develop a taste for that

shrub species. However, a

hungry deer can very

quickly acquire a taste for a

shrub that seemed

resistant in the past.

Natural Habitat

• Allow your yard to be a natural

habitat

• When we mulch pathways or

landscape with large areas of

concrete, we destroy the sunny

flat bare ground areas that most

nesting female bees need to raise

their young. Leave bare patches

for ground nesting bees. Provide

bare ground, twigs, and dead

limbs for nests and lots of flowers

for nectar and pollen.
