native garden
Local flora landscaping
A native garden is planted primarily with species indigenous to the local region rather than imported ornamentals.
The approach supports local wildlife—birds, pollinators, beneficial insects—while typically requiring less water and maintenance than conventional landscaping: We converted the lawn to a native garden of prairie grasses and wildflowers.
