Why Use Native Plants?



Natural landscaping is an opportunity to reestablish diverse native plants, thereby inviting the birds and butterflies back home and reestablishing the important balance between water, soil, plants and people.

Native plants help reduce air pollution. Natural landscapes do not require mowing. Lawns, however, must be mowed regularly. Gas powered garden tools emit 5% of the nation’s air pollution. Forty million lawnmowers consume 200 million gallons of gasoline per year. One gas-powered lawnmower emits 11 times the air pollution of a new car for each hour of operation. Instead of creating excessive carbon from the burning of fossil fuels, native plants sequester or remove carbon from the air.

Native plants do not require fertilizers and require fewer pesticides than lawns. Vast amounts of fertilizers are applied to lawns. Excess phosphorus and nitrogen (the main components of fertilizers) run off into lakes and rivers causing excess algae growth. This depletes oxygen in our waters, harms aquatic life and interferes with recreational uses. It is estimated that 60% of the nitrogen from lawn fertilizers leaches out of the turf root area.
