When you plant for wildlife, the goal is continuity. A single feeder isn't enough; a true
habitat provides a steady sequence of resources from the first thaw of spring to the first
frost of winter.
This selection of native powerhouses creates a "relay race" of nutrition, ensuring that
when one food source fades, another is just ripening. From the early spring nectar of the
Red Currant to the late-autumn richness of the Paw Paw, these four plants form the
backbone of a thriving backyard ecosystem. 
Serviceberry (Early Summer)
Nesting Fuel: Ripens exactly when parent birds (Robins, Waxwings, Cardinals) need
high-energy food to feed their fledglings.
Highbush Blueberry (Mid-Summer)
Buzz Pollination: The bell-shaped flowers are designed for bumblebees and specialist
pollinators like the Southeastern Blueberry Bee, which vibrate the flowers to release
pollen.
Red Currant (Spring)
Hummingbird Magnet: The tubular flowers of many Ribes species are perfectly shaped
for hummingbirds, offering nectar just as they return from migration.
Paw Paw (Autumn)
Exclusive Host: The Paw Paw is the sole larval host for the Zebra Swallowtail butterfly.
Without this tree, this stunning black-and-white butterfly cannot reproduce.
 
These plants produce fruits that are edible and delicious, making them a great addition to any homestead.
