Why Native Plants?
-
Naturally beautiful! Native plants will add beauty to your garden. Not convinced?
-
Made for here! Native plants are adapted to local conditions. Planted in the right place, native plants need less water and other care than our non-native lawns.
-
Good for the Earth! Unlike non-native plants such as turfgrass, native plants support butterflies, birds and pollinators AND healthy water!
