Native Plants

Why Plant Natives? Promote wise stewardship of the land and the conservation of our natural resources.

  • Provide food and shelter for native wildlife.
  • Beech, oak, and hickory trees provide nesting habitat and important nuts and acorns for a variety of wildlife. In the winter, evergreen trees like American holly, white pin and hemlocks provide important shelter and food.
  • Hardy and should withstand regional weather extremes when properly sited and planted. Native plants have many inherent qualities and adaptive traits that make them aesthetically pleasing, practical, and ecologically valuable for landscaping.
