indigenous plants
Region's original vegetation
Indigenous plants are species that occur naturally in a particular region, having evolved there over thousands of years without human introduction.
They're adapted to local soil, climate, and wildlife, often requiring less water and maintenance than non-native species: The garden features indigenous plants that attract native pollinators.
Environmentalists and landscapers promote them for ecological restoration and sustainable gardening.
