Why plant Native?
-
Biodiversity.
By planting native you are helping to promote the biodiversity of your landscape. You will begin to see a larger variety of insects, birds, and critters which helps the local ecosystem stay healthy.
-
Water.
Turf grass lawns need lots of irrigation, while established natives require little to no watering. Natives also filter and return water to our water table, helping to prevent flooding.
-
Chemical Use.
Save time and money, native plantings do not require fertilizer, herbicides, insecticides, or fungicides. If you see insects on your native plants, that means they are doing their job!
-
Heritage.
Native plants have been in Michigan for thousands of years, evolving with the land and its creatures.
