Why Use Native Plants?

Native or indigenous plants…

• Naturally occur in the area they evolved
• Are adapted to local soil, rainfall, and temperature conditions
• Have developed natural defenses to many insects and diseases
• Grow with minimal use of water, fertilizers, and pesticides (which is good for our local waterways and the Bay)
• Provide food and habitat for local wildlife species (like butterflies!)
• Are fun and beautiful!
