Scientifically, many of the plants in this collection are native species, which play a crucial role in maintaining local ecosystems. Native plants are adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, making them more resilient and less resource-intensive than non-native varieties. By planting these species, you are not only supporting wildlife but also reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which can harm the environment.

Historically, many cultures have recognized the importance of plants for wildlife. Indigenous peoples often cultivated native plants to attract pollinators and birds, understanding their role in food production and ecosystem health. Today, as urbanization continues to threaten natural habitats, creating wildlife-friendly gardens has become essential for conservation efforts and environmental sustainability.

In terms of environmental impact, planting for butterflies and birds helps combat habitat loss and supports pollinator populations that are vital for food production. By choosing plants that attract these species, you contribute to a healthier ecosystem, promote biodiversity, and help mitigate the effects of climate change.
