Native Plants: What you NEED to know!

Using native plants can pose some challenges for a new garden, and the expectations of a native landscape can be quite different from that of a traditional exotic landscape. This video gives you a breakdown of those expectations and how to separate traditional landscaping values from native plants.

The BEST place to get started is nature: Bonner Park tour!

The best indicator for what plants grow well together and what conditions they need is nature. Going to parks or preserves and observing the natural landscape is a great place to get ideas for your landscape. Clumping species that grow in similar conditions is just one of the techniques to make sure your native landscape thrives and looks amazing! Check out our video tour of Bonner Park and the plants you can find there.

Put the pieces together and you’ve got a native landscape!

Once you start learning the plants and techniques, you’ll be ready to bring everything you’re learned together to bring your landscape to life. 

Its not all just about the birds and the bees, though they are incredibly important; a landscape is also the reflection of the homeowner and what they like. So don’t be afraid to use the plants that you think are fun and interesting and use your imagination to create the landscape of your dreams.
