We Support the Movement to Empower Homeowners to Create Sustainable Spaces
Are you looking for ways to create a more sustainable future in a tangible way? Are you passionate about native habitats and looking for ways to make an impact? If so, we want to tell you about the Homegrown National Park® movement.
This is a nationwide movement that encourages homeowners to transform their yards into native plant habitats. By creating these pocket prairies, you can provide essential food and shelter for pollinators and other wildlife, while contributing to improved water quality and soil health.
What’s in a Name?
The cofounder of Homegrown National Park®, Professor Doug Tallamy seeks to empower everyone to lend a hand in habitat restoration across the country, across the continent, and across the world. Here is his call to action:
“Our National Parks, no matter how grand in scale, are too small and separated from one another to preserve (native) species to the levels needed. Thus, the concept for Homegrown National Park®, a bottom-up call-to-action to restore habitat where we live and work, and to a lesser extent where we farm and graze, extending national parks to our yards and communities.”
How Are We a Part of This Movement?
Deep Roots Garden Center and Garden Environments believe that everyone can play a role in protecting our planet. That’s why we offer a wide variety of native plants, advice on which ones work best for your soil and light conditions, and even installation services to help you bring your own Homegrown National Park® to your property if you want to hire someone to do the work for you.
Our native plant nursery stocks carefully selected native species to support local ecosystems and provide habitat for a diverse range of wildlife. We also offer expert advice and resources to help you get started and maintain your garden.
By helping to spread the word about the Homegrown National Park® initiative, we are supporting the growing movement to create a network of interconnected habitats that will benefit both people and wildlife.
Join us in our mission to create a more sustainable future for all.
