Thanksgiving History. Thanksgiving is a particularly American holiday. The word evokes images of football, family reunions, roasted turkey with stuffing, pumpkin pie and, of course, the Pilgrims and Wampanoag, the acknowledged founders of the feast.
A forb (sometimes spelled phorb) is a herbaceous flowering plant that is not a graminoid (grasses, sedges and rushes). The term is used in biology and in vegetation ecology, especially in relation to grasslands[1] and understory.
We'd all love a no-work garden. Like any plant in your landscape, natives require care, including management in a prairie setting or control of insects and diseases in a garden setting.

Non-native plants are sometimes called exotics, whether they were introduced hundreds of years ago by settlers and travelers, or recently purchased from a mail order nursery catalog.
