native planting
Regional species gardening
Native planting is the practice of landscaping with plants indigenous to a particular region rather than imported ornamentals.
The approach supports local ecosystems by providing habitat for native insects, birds, and wildlife adapted to those species: We converted our lawn to native planting to attract pollinators.
Native plantings typically require less water and maintenance once established.
