Plant This, Not That

Plant This, Not That helps gardeners replace common non-native and invasive landscape plants with native alternatives that support local birds, bees, butterflies, and other wildlife. It is a practical starting point for gardeners who want better ecological function without giving up beauty.

What each native-plant listing includes

• A full-color photograph
• Sun, water, and soil requirements
• Bloom time, flower color, fruit, berries, and fall color
• Pollinators and other wildlife associated with the plant
• County-level maps showing the plant’s native range

Planning and maintaining a native garden

The book also explains how native plants contribute to local ecosystems, where to shop for them, how to maintain a mostly native landscape, and where to continue learning.
