Collection: Host Plants

A host plant if a plant that provides any of the following: breeding site, egg laying site, food, shelter for another organism.  

Example:  Milkweed:  A female butter fly will lay her eggs on milk weed leaves, then when the caterpillar hatch they eat the leaves of the milkweed(monarch caterpillars have evolved to only eat milkweed), then once matured they become a chrysalis and attach to the bottom of one of the milkweed leaves until they finally emerge as an adult butterfly.

Milkweed is the only larval host plant for the Monarch Butterfly.   So please include at least one of these species in your garden.

All plants are grown with ecological methods, soil, seeds & plants that are harvested(on private property (Middlesex county, MA) or  purchased from sources using ecological or organic practices in the USA, plants grown by us follow ecological and organic practices  (NOFA standards).  Eco friendly business. 

No chemical fertilizers, fungicides or herbicides are used.  I strive to minimize waste production, by recycling & reusing waste, reducing the use of non natural items (plastic pots) in the growing process. 

This gives the pollinators a safe space to be attracted and nourished by plants that will not hurt them due any chemicals use.
