Using Native Plants

There are many reasons to use Native plants.  Native plants have all of these benefits:

• They provide shelter for many local wildlife species.
• They provide nectar for pollinators.
• The native nuts, seeds and fruits provide food for the local wildlife.
• Natives have better survivability and are hardier.
• Lower maintenance.
• They save water. Once established, natives require less water because they’re ideally suited to the local environment.
• Less pesticides are needed.
• You’ll have fun enjoying viewing more wildlife.
• You will be supporting your local ecology.
• Native plants are rarely invasive.
