native *

Native plants are species that occur naturally in a specific region, ecosystem, or habitat for thousands of years, evolving alongside the local climate, soil, and wildlife to form a balanced, self-sustaining community. They are uniquely adapted to local conditions, requiring less water, fertilizer, and pesticides, which makes them key to sustainable landscaping and ecological health, offering a wealth of benefits that span from environmental health to reduced maintenance and upkeep. These advantages include supporting local wildlife, promoting water conservation, and preserving biodiversity.
