I you are an experienced gardener, you know that plants have specifc needs. I you can

meet those needs, you know that your plants will thrive and require little rom you later

on. The same is true or native plants.

Here are some things to think about when you order your plants:

What kind o soil do I have? Clay, sand, loam? Does it drain quickly or slowly? Is the site in ull or partial sun or ull shade? Will the tree or shrub eventually be too big, tall, or wide or the space? How ar is the site rom water? Will a hose reach? Will it impact your neighbors view, or yours?

Here are some common questions we are oten asked:

Do I have to water native plants?

For the first two or three years, you will need to water the plants to getthem established. How much you will need to water depends on the

weather. Dry, hot summers may require a ew more waterings. Water

deeply to encourage the roots to grow down deeply.

Do the plants need to go into the ground right away?

The plants you purchase are in

plastic bags and will need tocome out o those bags as soon

as possible, however, you need

to keep the roots/plugs rom

drying out. You can either pot

them up, plant them in their

permanent home, or heal them

in temporarily by placing them

in a garden or cool place withmulch over the roots.

Will I need a truck to pick up my plants?

Likely not, most orders will fit in

a trunk or on the floor o a car.
