There are many reasons for landscaping with native plants. Native landscapes reduce maintenance by eliminating mowing, edging, and fertilizing. They also provide food and cover for a wide variety of birds, butterflies, and other animals. In addition, native plants contribute to a "healthy" ecosystem by enhancing air and water quality. A native landscape also provides a senxe of regional identity and a connection with the earth. The Plant Place can provide you with these valuable plants and teach what you need to know to succeed with them, or we can incorporate them into a custom design and install them for you. Either way, let's get started planting natives! For more information about native plants, check out: |
