Discover Native Plants

Native plants, those that have evolved and thrived in a region for thousands of years, stand out from their non-native counterparts with deep local roots — literally and figuratively! They’re the low-maintenance friends of your garden, requiring less water and care thanks to their natural relationship with the local climate and soil. Beyond their easy-going nature, they’re big-time biodiversity boosters, offering a sanctuary for pollinators and native wildlife.
