Native Plants for Birds

Want to help birds right from your backyard?

Planting native flowers, shrubs, and trees helps restore nature’s balance by feeding pollinators, insects, and—ultimately—birds.

Native plants need less watering, less maintenance, and way less fuss

Pollinators love them, and birds rely on those pollinators.

Your garden will attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and other show-stopping visitors.
