Native Landscaping
Native plants have evolved and adapted to local conditions over thousands of years. They are vigorous and hardy,
so can survive winter cold and summer heat.
With spring just around the corner, now is the time to start thinking about incorporating more native plants
into your yard.
Native landscapes offer the following global warming solutions, among others:
-
With global warming comes an increased need for potable water. Native plants require less water to survive with changing
environments.
-
Native plants, with their deep root systems, will return more water to the ground preventing rainwater runoff. Native plants are
what make rain gardens work.
-
Wetland native species offer natural filtration systems to improve water quality.
