The struggle to grow only native plants is real, but we can help. |
Research shows that native plants can help create a healthier ecosystem that supports a higher diversity of wildlife. The plants we choose for our yards, gardens, and public spaces have a huge impact on birds, yet so much of ornamental landscaping is dominated by non-native species.
