Citizen Science
White clover fixes nitrogen from the air directly into your lawn or garden soil, acting as a free, natural fertilizer that feeds surrounding plants without any bags from the garden center.
Someone spotted and documented white clover growing in Avondale Estates, a small city near Atlanta, Georgia. White clover is a low-growing plant with round white flower heads that bees love, and it naturally enriches the soil by pulling nitrogen from the air. This kind of community observation helps scientists track where plants are thriving across the country.
