Why Native Plants?
Native plants are essential food sources for birds, insects, mammals, and other animals, thereby creating a healthy and robust local ecosystem.
By planting native plants in your garden, you are providing crucially needed habitat for such species, not to mention adding great beauty and resilience to the landscape.

“If half of American lawns were replaced with native plants, we would create the equivalent of a 20-million-acre national park — nine times bigger than Yellowstone, or 100 times bigger than Shenandoah National Park.”
