My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Eco-Friendly things to Plant for Pollinators and Birds

12 years ago

Since this is a "garden" forum, let's look at what things are "Earth Friendly" to grow in your garden.

What plants can you put in your garden to make it an "stopping point" for pollinators and migratory birds?

Are there any programs that are trying to distribute seeds or bulbs for endangered plants? I can't make my yard a habitat for the snow leopard, I may be able to make a habitat for some endangered plant.

Where can you get genetically diverse plants?
