Why plant native?
YOU can help stem the tide of global insect decline and create habitat and pathways for birds and other wildlife!
Incorporating regionally appropriate native plants into our home landscapes and other urban areas supports local biodiversity, reduces the need for fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides, and conserves water resources, all while providing food and shelter for local wildlife.
