“Because life is fueled by the energy captured from the sun by plants, it will be the plants that we use in our gardens that determine what nature will be like 10, 20, and 50 years from now.”
— Doug Tallamy
At Homegrown National Park, we know restoration is a generational commitment. At the heart of our mission is permanence. The native plants we put in the ground today, and the habitats they create, will shape the landscapes of tomorrow.
Transforming communities into thriving habitats where people and nature flourish together requires vision, stewardship, and long-term investment. This work extends far beyond a single season or lifetime.
For most people, a legacy gift is the largest and most meaningful gift they will ever make. It is an expression of generosity, hope, and belief in the future—a way to ensure that the ecosystems we restore today continue to grow, connect, and sustain life for generations to come.
By joining the Doug Tallamy Legacy Society, you become part of a community dedicated to carrying this work forward.
