What if your backyard could become a haven for butterflies, bees, birds, and beyond? Thanks to our partnership with the Toledo Zoo & Aquarium and their conservation initiative, Wild Toledo, it can. We’re excited to offer a native plant sale that helps you bring a little piece of Michigan’s natural landscape right to your home while supporting wildlife in a big way. A portion of every sale will go toward Potter Park Zoo conservation efforts.
Why Native Plants Matter
Native plants are not just beautiful. They are powerful.
They have evolved alongside local wildlife, which means they provide the food, shelter, and habitat that pollinators and other species need to thrive.
By planting native, you can help:
- 🐝 Support pollinators like bees and butterflies
- 🐦 Create resting and feeding spots for birds
- 🌎 Reduce runoff and improve soil health
- 🌿 Build a more resilient, low-maintenance landscape
