Native plants are having a moment, and for good reason.
Across America, homeowners, gardeners, and outdoor enthusiasts are ditching the traditional lawn and discovering the joy of a wilder, more beautiful outdoor space. Native plants are trending, rewilding is going mainstream, and the results are stunning, yards full of monarchs, hummingbirds, songbirds, and life.
And the best part? You can start right where you are. Your backyard. Your balcony. Your stoop.
As featured in the New York Times and on the Today Show.

Start Something Wild.
After retiring from an 8 year stint of creating an 11-acre regenerative ecofarm with several endangered heritage livestock species, annual and perennial vegetable and herbs, meat, and fiber, I thought I’d never be connected to nature in that way again. I was wrong.After a one-year pity party, I began removing invasive plants from my .75 acre property. I reread Dr. Douglas Tallamy’s 2007 book Bringing Nature Home. I read his 2020 book, Nature’s Best Hope and became immersed in native plants. I joined Georgia’s Native Plant Society and became a charter member of a local chapter. Social distancing outdoors was a way to socialize during the pandemic.I’m still rusty with many apps, but picked up on Wildr right away. It provides helpful feedback. I’m always learning more. I’m retired and in my seventh decade, so these concepts provide social connection, incentive, and feedback. I look forward to learning more.
What the native plant movement needs
Design Your Wild
I am so excited to finally have a plant recommendation and garden planning app created by a respected company in partnership with so many trusted organizations. Until now, I’ve been toggling among various databases and various spreadsheets—none of which is easy to use. In just minutes of playing with the app, I’ve noted my habitats haves and wants and started plant lists with clickable descriptions. Wow!

Ok this is very sick
Meet your watershed! Every place now shows the watershed you live in: its health, what's affecting local water quality, and an interactive map, with a tap-through to EPA's "How's My Waterway." This release makes the watershed map more reliable, too. We've also added butterfly and specialist-bee indicators to plant search cards so you can spot high-value plants at a glance, smoothed out search, and made plant and ecoregion details easier to read. Thanks for growing native!
