Adding native plant species to your garden is beneficial to the environment. One of the greatest advantages is the attraction of beneficial creatures that aid in the control of garden pest. Pests such as aphids and mites are a source of food for beneficial creatures like ladybugs. Using natural resources eliminates the use of harmful chemicals and pesticides.
Contact your local university or garden center to obtain information on what native species grow in your area and start a positive footprint in your garden.
