Each kit includes 5–6+ native species, with 2-3+ plants of each species, suitable for approximately 2–6 m² depending on planting density.
Details:
- 18 plants in 4-inch pots, at least 5–6 Ontario native species based on availability
- Designed for moist to wet areas, rain gardens, swales, and pond edges suitable for approximately 2–6 m² if planted together in a group

Species include the following, quantities may vary based on seasonal availability:
- Lobelia cardinalis — Cardinal Flower (supports Sphinx moths, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds, bumblebees)

- Symphyotrichum novae-angliae — New England Aster (host to Pearl Crescent, and supports native bees in fall including specialist long horned-bees)
- Zizia aurea — Golden Alexanders (important host to Black Swallowtail, supports bees in spring)
