home sweet home

birds bring song, beauty and wonder to our gardens. native plants provide the insects, nectar, seeds, and nuts birds need to thrive.

in the greater Rochester area we now occupy land that was in the care of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy for generations.

the people of the Seneca Nation lived south of lake Ontario and cared for the abundant natural resources until they were forcibly removed. we can, in our small but connected way, return some of the stunning array of native plants with which we are blessed, from large shade trees to small flowering trees, shrubs, and perennials, native plants provide excellent sources of food and nest sites. we will then enjoy the reward - birds, butterflies, bees, lightning bugs and more.

"...chickadees need between 6,000 and 9,000 caterpillars to feed one brood of chicks."
