The Sixth Mass Extinction

Increasing Biodiversity in Denver: A Garden’s Call to Action

Denver’s growing urban sprawl is swallowing up the wild spaces where creatures once thrived. But we have the power to turn our gardens into havens, to stitch back together the fabric of biodiversity, one plant at a time. By planting native flowers, creating water-smart landscapes, and inviting pollinators back with open arms, we can restore the balance that sustains us. Here are stunning plants that support biodiversity:

echinacea

echinacea tennesseensis

penstemon

penstemon mensarum

meadow blazing star

liatris ligulistylis

     Sarada's™ Greek mountain tea 

sideritis syriaca

winecups

callirhoe involucrata

Each plant, each pollinator, and each small creature is part of a delicate balance we can no longer afford to ignore. If we don't act, we risk unraveling this intricate web, leaving it irreparably broken. It's time to take responsibility and breathe life back into the systems that sustain us, right here in our own backyards.
