S&S Plants

White clover used to be a normal part of American lawns. It fed bees, naturally added nitrogen to the soil, and stayed green when the grass around it turned brown. Then came the 1950s, and broadleaf herbicides changed everything—clover became a w**d to kill, not a plant to keep.

But the clover never stopped working. It still feeds pollinators, improves soil, and needs less water. A patch of clover is a small act of resilience in a yard shaped by chemicals and control.

Sometimes the greenest lawn is the one that lets a little wildness in. 🌱🐝

They spread by seed, runner, and root into wild areas beyond the garden fence. They crowd out the native plants that local birds, bees, and butterflies depend on for survival. Several are already banned in multiple US states — yet still sold legally at many retailers.
The good news is that every invasive plant has a beautiful native alternative that looks just as stunning, requires the same or less maintenance, and actually feeds the wildlife that visits the garden.
