This document discusses the benefits of gardening with native plants. It begins by explaining what defines a plant as native - being adapted to the climate, soil, and ecosystem of a specific region. While exotic plants were traditionally preferred, there is a growing movement toward using native species which are well-adapted without inputs. Native plants face threats including habitat loss, invasive species, and illegal harvesting. The document encourages gardeners to help native plants by growing them and allowing them to thrive without excessive care or chemicals.

Preserving native bee populations requires providing flowering plants from February to October, nesting sites, and limiting pesticide use.
The document discusses the invasive nature of Callery pear trees in North America. It begins with a history of how the trees were introduced from China in the early 1900s and became widely popular ornamental trees. However, they have since escaped cultivation and spread aggressively through seed dispersal and vegetative means, forming dense thickets that crowd out native species. Controlling and removing established Callery pears requires diligence, as they are very tolerant of different environments. Public education on alternatives to planting Callery pears is important, as is replacing existing trees with native species.

Broadleaf arrowhead is a clumping perennial herb that grows from 1-4 feet tall and wide. It has large arrowhead-shaped leaves and produces small white flowers in summer that attract pollinators. The plant spreads through stolons and corms, and dies back annually except for the corms. It is well-suited for use in ponds, bogs, or wet soil around ponds, and provides habitat for birds and pollinators. The corms are edible and were used as a staple food by California Native Americans.
