Native Plantings and the Natural Landscape

Native landscaping is a practice that uses plants native to a specific area in their landscaping design. It offers several benefits, including supporting local wildlife, conserving water, and improving air quality. By choosing plants that are already adapted to the local climate and soil conditions, native landscaping can create a more sustainable and resilient landscape.
