Native plants naturally occur in the region in whic.h they evolved. While non-native plants may provide some benefits, native plants have many additional benefits: · Reduce Maintenance and Pollutants Conventional lawn and garden care contrib- utes to pollution of our air and water and uses up non-renewable resources such as fuel and water. · Improve Water Iluality Native species planted on slopes, and along bodies of water help prevent erosion and pollution by stabilizing the soil and slowing the flow of rainwater runoff. · Enhance and Create Wildlife Habitats An animal's habitat is the area where it finds food, water, shelter, and breeding or nesting space. Our gardens provide the greatest ecological value when we mimic natural plant groupings and incorporate as many natural habitat features as possible · Naturalistic Planting Naturalistic landscaping uses patterns found in nature, and allows some nature driven changes, such as succession (gradual replacement of species), to occur.
