The Native Plant Garden

When we are discussing native plants what we are referring to is
plants that have evolved here, in North America, over thousands of
years.

These plants have adapted to the environment where
they are growing and have been part of the evolving local ecosystem for
many, many generations; they are adapted to the rainfall patterns; to
the myriad of other creatures that have evolved with them, pollinating
them, feeding on their nectar; to the area’s soils and climate; to the
whole web of connections that nature provides.
