Bright Lane Gardens is all about native plants, native plant gardening, backyard ecology, and creating landscapes that support pollinators and wildlife.

Here you'll find detailed native plant guides covering identification, growing conditions, landscape uses, pollinator value, wildlife relationships, and the ecology behind individual species. We also cover how to grow native plants from seed, collect and save native seeds, design native landscapes, choose the right plants for your growing conditions, and maintain an established native garden.

Topics include Michigan native plants, Midwest native plants, native wildflowers, native grasses, shrubs and trees, pollinator gardens, rain gardens, natural landscaping, native garden design, seed starting, seed collecting, native bees, butterflies, moths, caterpillars, birds, and other backyard wildlife.

BLG is a native plant nursery in Northern Michigan, where we grow and work with many of the plants featured on this channel.
