Why Native Plants?
Why native plants? Because approximately 90% of herbivorous insect species are dependent on plants they have co-evolved with for thousands of years. Invertebrates are keys to a vital food web, so native plants contribute to a healthy, toxin-free landscape and abundance of wildlife. And they save water, energy, and time. Adding native species to your yard is the easiest thing you can do to contribute to a healthier planet.
