What are the benefits of native plants?
Native plants thrive in local soil and climate conditions. Not only are they low maintenance, they use less water and improve soil health, too. They are especially useful, as they serve as habitats and create food for pollinators. Creators of biodiversity, native plants restore the land and lessen chemical use.
