Greenwich Audubon database matches gardeners, drought-resistent plants by ZIP code

Audubon Greenwich’s land steward Andy Chapin said local plants are already adjusted to the climate and require less watering.“They are better able to survive (locally) than many of the landscape plants used in other parts of the world,” he said.Blake said residents can design landscapes and gardens that are more friendly for Greenwich birds year-round by planning with the five food groups in mind: nuts, seeds, fruit, nectar and insects."The birds you are going to see in your backyard, like robins and cardinals -- those birds are bringing back caterpillars and insects” to their young, said Blake. "And why native plants are so important is because their insects have adapted to the leaf chemistry of the plants over millions of years."Oak varieties of trees can host up to 530 different species of caterpillars for different moths and butterflies," she said. “But a gingko tree, which is a gorgeous landscaping tree... it only supports four species of caterpillars.”The young of common birds like chickadees need protein — inch worms, fly maggots, spiders and caterpillars. Between 6,000 and 9,000 caterpillars feed one nestfull of young, according to Doug Tallamy, professor of entomology and wildlife ecology at the University of Delaware. ”When you have an oak tree nearby,” Blake said, “a chickadee with one set of chicks will have a number of these little yummy delectibles.” /...
