Visit linkNuts for Natives writes for gardeners in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, where the case for native plants is about feeding local insects and birds. Its posts are garden case studies, including a Takoma Park native garden, a side garden turned from shade to sun in a day, a formal shade garden that became a sun garden, and a landscaping proposal built on natives. Fall posts cover native containers and a perennial with fuchsia stems and nearly black berries. A native plant alternatives section suggests natives in place of popular ornamentals.
