In addition to the idea of sharing seed, how about everyone purchase one of Doug Tallamy's books and give to a neighbor, friend, church, landscape business, local government official etc.?</div>

<div>We all have friends who would be interested in a native garden, but the effort and cost feel prohibitive, even though they really aren't. Last year, I decided to start experimenting with growing the plants myself and giving them away, even planting them
at friends'. Obviously we don't want to take business away from the local native nurseries, but this creates a push that many people need. And once they see the bees going nuts over bee balm, goldenrod, etc. they can really get into it and then support the
native nurseries.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So now that we're well into fall, consider buying seeds online and preparing for next spring. Packets can have a couple hundred seeds and cost a couple dollars, so it's not difficult to get started with a wide variety. Just make sure that the native
seeds you purchase are native to your region, some local regions can be very specific.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you do decide to do this, please let me know.<br>
