Why native plants?

According to the The National Audubon Society:

Restoring native plant habitat is vital to preserving biodiversity. By creating a native plant garden, each patch of habitat becomes part of a collective effort to nurture and sustain the living landscape for birds and other animals.

Most of my experience is in temperate climates in Northern/Western Europe (for specific plant species info), but I'm happy to help answer management questions in general.

I'm also happy to help put together resources for the community if there's any plans for that.

Love this so much, and thank you for your offer to get folks started. I ripped out about 900sqft of my South Florida backyard lawn in April and broadcast seeds for a wildflower lawn. I have a species list, but we like just identifying things as they come up. Birds love our house. Monoculture sucks

@Casualsythe @Saxifraga LOVE THIS! I’m in FL as well and doing similar to you. Trying to keep the HOA at bay about it.
