Jerilyn's Native Plants of the Piedmont Native Plant Sale

Schedule

Location

Woods Charter School | Chapel Hill, NC

The pollinators are out, birds are building nests and this weekend is the perfect time to plant native plants to feed them!
The butterflies, moths and many of our native bees will be searching both nectar and for their host plants in our yards, so they can lay their eggs or collect their specific pollen to feed to their larvae. The songbirds are building their nests and will soon have hungry chicks that will need to be fed up to 20,000 caterpillars to raise four little chicks that only weigh 1/3 of an ounce. These caterpillars only come from native plants, not the plants that most of us have in our yards. We can all help to bring our wildlife populations back. We can save our disappearing insects and all of the other species that depend on them up the food chain. Please come out and help to restore the native habitat in your yard and make it less of a food desert for our local wildlife. Every single plant added back to the neighborhood matters. Every plant can be a lifeline for pollinators and make our neighborhood less of a food desert. Plant by plant, yard by yard, we can be nature's best hope...together!
*Just over 14% of native species support over 90% of America's butterfly and moth species. These are the keystone species that I have at the sale. Over 96% of terrestrial birds rely on insects, mainly caterpillars, to feed their young. Only native plants serve as the host plants for our butterflies and moths to lay their eggs and feed their caterpillars. Without these native plants, we lose our butterflies, moths, native bees and everything that depends on them. Flying insect numbers are down 65% in the past 20 years and 34% in the past ten years because their habitat is being cleared for turf grass, houses, roads, schools, strip malls, hospitals,...We need to add these plants back to our little piece of the American landscape (our yards) which are mostly ornamental plants from other continents that are starving our local wildlife to extinction in some cases. You can help. We can all help. We can save our wildlife together plant by plant. Please join me and many others by planting America's plants to save America's wildlife!
