Go Native ~ It’s Only Natural

~ In these trying times, environmental concerns should be at the forefront of societal discussions when the importance of planting native plants cannot be overstated.

~ Native plants, which have evolved in a specific region over thousands of years, are crucial to maintaining the ecological balance of your natural environment.  They bring numerous benefits, not only to the ecosystem but also to our communities and personal well being.

One of  the primary advantages of a natural landscape is the ability to support local wildlife.  Different species of  native flora have co-evolved alongside specific fauna, creating intricate relationships that foster sustenance and habitat.  By planting a natural landscape, you help provide food and shelter for local birds, bees, butterflies, and other pollinators that are essential for ecological health.  

Native plants also play a vital role in preserving biodiversity.  As invasive species continue to threaten local ecosystems, fostering an environment where these plants thrive can help in the recovery of the natural habitat.  It is important to identify and eradicate all invasive species so natural plant communities can thrive and help support a richer, more diverse ecosystem.

When you plant native plants in their respective ecological niche, you help create an environment that is more sustainable and resilient,  With that, the use of chemicals is significantly reduced, you have cleaner water with reduced pollution, and in turn this helps promote a healthier soil microbiome,

Another benefit of native plants is the connection with the natural world as a profound psychological sense of well being.  Plants have the uncanny ability to foster a sense of tranquility and peace.  By choosing to plant native plants, you can cultivate a deeper connection to the natural world,
