Landscaping with Native PlantsNative wildflowers, ferns, grasses, shrubs, and trees are a stunning part of our local heritage. These native plants provide year-round beauty and interest to our gardens. In addition they are an environmentally friendly choice for landscaping and restoration.

Why garden with natives?Native plants provide habitat and food for

wildlife such as birds, butterflies, and caterpillarsNatives do not require fertilizers, herbicides,

pesticides, or watering to survive Natives are naturally adapted to our climate Non-natives and cultivars often do not provide

nectar (food) for pollinatorsNon-natives can escape gardens and devastate

local forests and landscapesNatives benefit the Forest by:

Stabilizing stream banksReducing erosionImproving wildlife and fisheries habitatMitigating the effects of wildfiresRehabilitating disturbed areasCombating non-native invasive species
