Why native plants?

According to the The National Audubon Society:

Restoring native plant habitat is vital to preserving biodiversity. By creating a native plant garden, each patch of habitat becomes part of a collective effort to nurture and sustain the living landscape for birds and other animals.

Been doing various native plantings for years but there's a lot of clasping coneflower in there which is a new one for me. Pretty stoked about that.

Clasping coneflower is such an underrated pollinator magnet in the southeast, mine literally exploded with bees last summer and reseeds like crazy if you let it!

Completely agree, wasn't even on my radar until last year and I've been planting similar stuff for a decade.
