I enjoyed this article too and signed up immediately for updates on both orgs! I was glad to see some of the plants I grow on the native keystone plants list for my Oklahoma semi-arid prairie. Black-eyed Susan, Gallardía, among them.

A great resource for homegrown biodiversity even if just in a flower pot or two. Wild Ones wildones.org Their merch is cute too! An idea for gift-giving.
