Why Plant Natives?

Native plants have received some attention recently, with mainstream media outlets from NPR to Better Homes and Gardens touting their benefits. Native landscapes offer ecological benefits, and can also be beautiful and enjoyable for homeowners.

Some of the benefits of using Florida native plants in your home landscape include:
* Reduced need for chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and irrigation
* Ideal habitat for local wildlife
* Preserved biodiversity and support of the local food web
* Restored regional character and "sense of place"
