“Native plants are adapted to our area. They offer many benefits including drought tolerance, beauty and as pollinator attractors,” said Vicky Runnoe, Conservation Education Supervisor at the MK Nature Center. “Once established, native plants will thrive with minimal effort on your part. Pollinators such as honey bees, native bees, butterflies and hummingbirds will find your yard a perfect habitat, giving you the opportunity to observe these fascinating creatures.”
All purchases support the Idaho Native Plant Society and MK Nature Center and will provide lasting benefits to your neighborhood wildlife.
