Why Plant Natives?

Our gardens, like our lives, are on a journey—they evolve, change and grow just as we do.

Before, we were satisfied to fill our gardens with any plant that had a certain aesthetic quality, keeping our landscape tidy and overly maintained. Somewhere along the way, we discovered a connection between the native plants in our gardens and an increasing abundance of life—more butterflies, hummingbirds and other delightful critters. Now, we know that native plants offer more than just a “pretty face”; they support a whole ecosystem around us—a habitat diversity unmatched by the exotic plants that previously filled our garden.

We invite you to join us on the journey towards creating more ecological and sustainable landscapes!
