American Beauties Native Plants Supports New Documentary

For 10 years American Beauties Native Plants partnered with the National Wildlife Federation and donated $267,000 to help support their environmental education programs, and this year, it is spreading its wings to help other worthy causes such as the new documentary ""Hometown Habitat.""

“Donating funds to make this documentary film possible was the right thing to do. It’s important work, and what better way to convey the message about native plants, pollinators and larval foods than by seeing the relationship first hand. Surely, if a picture is worth a thousand words, then a movie is worth a million,” says co-owner of American Beauties, Steve Castorani.

American Beauties Native Plants is also committed to the Pollinator Partnership and their Wings Over Ohio program. The campaign will research, maintain and augment the Ohio segment of the North American Monarch Migration.
