- In many areas, gardens are our last vestiges of the natural world. Foster connection to nature and the possibility of recreating lost ecosystems.

Early bloomer, seeds consumed by turkey and quail. Larval host for the Spring Azure butterfly and Mottled Duskywing. Part shade/shade, moist and well drained. Mine is in a pot.
- Serviceberry: multi-stemmed. 15-25 ft tall. Spring flowering. Summer edible berries. Easy to grow. VIBURNUMS! Understory shrub. Birds, mammals, humans all love the berries. Clustered white flowers in spring.
