Native Plant Gardening Hats

Native plant gardening is the anti-lawn hobby with a calendar of its own. Leave the Leaves is a National Wildlife Federation and Xerces Society campaign, with yard signs sold by Xerces, built on the point that whole leaves protect moths, butterflies and other insects. No Mow May began with Plantlife in the UK, and in Appleton, Wisconsin, No Mow May lawns held about five times the bee abundance of mowed ones. Behind both sits Doug Tallamy's Homegrown National Park idea: a 2005 NASA-led study counted more than 40 million acres turned into lawn, and he proposes halving it. The tribe talks in its own words: natives, invasives, host plants, pollinators, caterpillars, and a running joke about being a little weedy. As one Reddit gardener captioned a wildflower yard, "I guess some would call it weedy." Some members have even been contacted by the "weed police" and answered with a species list. These native plant gardening hats follow that voice. Two badges, NATIVE PLANT GARDENER and PLANT NATIVE, are the phrases people type into search boxes and already buy on tees and totes. The rest are the campaign slogans, the lawn ripped out for the bees, and the yard that is a national park for caterpillars. Every design is custom embroidered on an unstructured dad hat, for the gardener with a messy yard and the person who buys them a gift.
