Problem
Habitat loss and pesticide use are major contributors to the decline of wildlife populations, including monarch butterflies and other essential pollinators. Traditional landscaping practices often prioritize non-native species, which offer limited benefits to local ecosystems and can disrupt native food webs. Many gardeners lack the knowledge and resources to create wildlife-friendly habitats in their outdoor spaces.
Solution
Garden for Wildlife provides a curated e-commerce platform that enables individuals to create thriving habitats for local wildlife by offering native plants, starter kits, and resources. The platform features a plant finder quiz to help users identify the best native species for their region, soil type, and light conditions. Garden for Wildlife offers collections tailored to attract specific wildlife, such as monarchs, hummingbirds, and bees, with plants that provide food and shelter. By focusing on native plants, the platform helps restore biodiversity, reduce the need for pesticides, and promote sustainable gardening practices.
