I am a Florida
native.
Maybe you were born here. Maybe you got here last spring. Either way, the plants that belong in your yard have been here a lot longer. We’ll introduce you, one at a time.
Frogfruit
A low, spreading groundcover that shrugs off foot traffic, salt, and drought. Plant it where grass keeps failing and it will fill in with tiny purple-and-white flowers that butterflies work all day.

Native gardening starts with one plant, not a whole plan.
Learn one plant a month
A short email with what it looks like, where it grows, and what shows up to eat it. No homework.
Put it in the ground
Every plant we feature is one you can actually buy, grown at a Florida nursery.
Watch what turns up
Butterflies, bees, and birds find native plants fast. Usually within a season, often sooner.
Two ways to follow along.
Read about the plant, or get it delivered. Same plant either way.
One plant. Once a month.
A short, useful note about what to plant—and what might show up.
The plant, the art, the guide.
- 01This month's plant
Nursery-grown in Florida, ready to go in the ground.
- 02A piece of native plant art or merch
An original print, sticker set, or shirt. Different every month.
- 03A printed guide to that plant
Where to site it, how to water it, and which pollinators and caterpillars use it.
