Homegrown Habitat Hosts
Homegrown Habitat Hosts Garden for Wildlife – Local native plants are Habitat Champions. Climate Ready, Already
By incorporating local California Native Plants and other nature friendly practices Habitat Hosts create habitat for birds, bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects. They help wildlife navigate between natural areas, increase the pollen, nectar and habitat they need. The Hosts share information and photos of their gardens on our website in order to inspire others to do the same. Homegrown Habitat Host front yards can always be viewed online.
The native plant habitat we protect or add to our landscapes today will determine what life looks like tomorrow. We’re all part of the web of life. Plant List for HH Sacramento Region

North facing, filtered sun, trees, bushes, perennials and annuals attract birds, pollinators, butterflies and more!
