What are native plants?
- Native plants include species originating and occurring naturally in an area without human intervention.
- These plants are well adapted to the climate, ecosystem, and soil in which they can be found naturally. This often means less watering and maintenance for a gardener.
- Include familiar species such as Purple Coneflowers, Black-eyed Susans, Joe Pye Weed, Shasta Daisies and Milkweed.
Why plant native?
- No fertilizer or pesticides required, organic options available if desired
- Deep roots mean less watering and more erosion control
- Native plants sequester more carbon from the air into the soil
- Support native wildlife with food and shelter

Birder - offer your feathered friends cover, fruit/seeds, insects and nesting materials
Moon - your senses will enjoy “glowing” foliage, intoxicating floral scents, and beautiful night blooms
