Native Plants 

" Native plants are those that occur naturally in a region in which they evolved. They are the ecological basis upon which life depends, including birds and people. Without them and the insects that co-evolved with them, local birds cannot survive." - Audubon 

Native plants have a plethora of services and benefits including conserving water, ensuring diverse ecosystems, and creating beautiful, green spaces. They are an aspect vital to sustainable communities!
