Native plants are important and better for your yard. I’m not going to go in all the details as a simple google search will tell you that they usually need less water, maintenance and help the local ecosystem (bugs, animals) flourish. So if you’re not planting native plants yet in your landscaping, garden or yard… get to it. It’s easier than ever to find which plants are for your area with the Native Plant Finder created by the National Wildlife Federation. Click this link to start your native plant shopping:
