native plant gardens
Local flora cultivation
Native plant gardens are landscaped areas cultivated exclusively or primarily with plants indigenous to the local region.
The approach prioritizes species that evolved in the area's climate and soil, supporting local wildlife—particularly pollinators and birds—while typically requiring less water and maintenance than conventional gardens.
We converted our lawn to a native plant garden to attract butterflies and reduce our water bill.
