To Be Announced
“Native species are those that
occur in the region in which they evolved. Plants evolve over geologic time
in response to physical and biotic processes characteristic of a region: the
climate, soils, timing of rainfall, drought, and frost; and interactions with
the other species inhabiting the local community. Thus native plants possess
certain traits that make them uniquely adapted to local conditions, providing
a practical and ecologically valuable alternative for landscaping,
conservation and restoration projects.”

Why landscape
with native Plants?
REDUCE INVASIVE WEEDS
Invasive weeds are a big problem
across much of the country. Many of these invasives were first planted
as garden ornamentals, which then escaped into the natural landscape,
wreaking havoc on native plant populations
SAVE MONEY AND RESOURCES
In the west 60% of consumed water
goes to lawns. Consider digging up portions of your lawn that you tend
to have the most trouble with, and plant with drought-tolerant native plants.
SAVE TIME
Native plant landscapes tend to
take care of themselves. Replanting a lawn with native plants reduces
time spent mowing, raking, and watering.
ATTRACT WILDLIFE
Use native plants to attract
native wildlife like birds and butterflies into your yard.
THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL!
There are lots of beautiful and
unique native flowers, trees, and shrubs to choose from.
GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT
Because native plants are already
adapted to the pests and soils of the area, they require little, if any,
pesticides or fertilizers.
Native plants help control erosion
and reduce run-off, keeping sediments and pollutants out of our waterways.
