Native Plants
for wildlife

Native plants are best for wildlife because they evolved in tandem over thousands of years. Native plants also provide food and shelter that specific insects, birds, mammals, and other animals need.

Native plants are more likely to thrive in your soil and climate, because they are right at home. Once established, native plants generally require little maintenance. Native plants are adapted to local conditions and therefore require less fertilizers and pesticides than many non-native plants and water thirsty lawns. Many native plants offer beautiful showy flowers. They also produce abundant colorful fruits, seeds, and brilliant fall foliage.

Because native plants are adapted to local environmental conditions, they require far less water, saving time and money. In addition to providing vital habitat for birds, butterflies, hummingbirds and native bees.

The native nuts, seeds, and fruits produced by these plants offer essential foods for all forms of wildlife. That’s why they are best for your gardens.
