Planting pockets of native perennials is the quickest guarantee to a no muss-no fuss garden with a free bonus of beauty thrown in by Mother Nature.
Native plants provide an environmentally friendly garden that acts as a supermarket for wildlife.
Their benefits are legion. They are less prone to diseases and pests, and the vagaries of climate, as long as they are placed in a proper spot. The land is unique for another reason, which makes native planting so crucial today. The North American continent has a face with a spring movement up the face and a fall movement down the face of the continent. Tracking the spring and fall blush of blooms are the song birds, butterflies and other flying species.
