The Advantages of Using Natives

Native plants can help you conserve water and energy, provide habitat and green your yard! Natives can support pollinator populations, add reliable blooms to “problem areas,” help manage storm water, replace aggressive or invasive species, and prevent erosion. We'll cover everything you need to make your native garden a success, including selecting species that will thrive in any area of your garden for season-long color and winter interest.
