Native Plants
There are so many reasons to incorporate native plants into our landscapes! They offer opportunities for water conservation and quality control, they provide habitat and substenance for our local pollinators. Because native plants have evolved along with our local climate, soil types and animals, they are relatively pest and maintenance free. The following list is a sample of the wide variety of natives that are desirable and usually easily obtainable.
