A “native” plant is a specific species that has grown naturally in this area for many years and is accustomed to the local climate, soils and precipitation. In addition, local wildlife is dependent upon native plants that they have coexisted with for many, many years. Adding native plants to the landscape is one way residents can help the environment.
