Why should you GO Native? Here are the top four reasons!
- Native plants provide for low maintenance, chemical-free landscapes, because they are adapted to local weather conditions, soils and are resistant to local pests.
- Native plants attract a great diversity of wildlife by providing food, shelter and nesting sites.
- An incredible diversity of native plants provides beautiful flowers and interesting foliage and provides a variety of heights, shapes, textures and colors to the landscape.
- Using native plants in the landscape not only benefits the ecosystem, but can start the educational process for people of all ages, leading to a better understanding, appreciation, and acceptance of our natural environment.
I love spiderwort. Haven't seen any in years, but I used to have a fabulous patch of them at my old house. Thanks for reminding me that I need to find a spot for them at the new place.
ReplyDeleteI recently planted some at my house. I LOVE native plants and I am working very hard to use most if not all native plants in my landscape at home.
